Dabbling

My wonderful sister-in-law, Lola, is a genius at designing purses. Seriously. In fact, I am a little bit jealous of her talent! She has put a few of her fabulous designs up on her blog as free tutorials, and I made one back in April. The Jenny bag. It's a really great pattern, and super easy! It has been my trusty purse for the last 6 months. But, I'm finding that I needed a purse that hung over my shoulder more than one I just held in my hand. With a little 2 year old, who loves to go through my purse every opportunity he gets, I really need a purse I can hang on to little easier.

So, I dabbled in Lola's field and designed a bag. It isn't the greatest thing, but I am awfully proud of it!

The bag took 3 fat quarters to make. I think I'm going to call it the "LaRue" bag.
