Amateur craftiness...

So, anyone who has witnessed me undertake a sewing project (and there aren't many of you) knows that either it never gets done, I screw it up royally, or it comes out somewhat resembling the original finished project. I always complain to myself that I'm not really good at any one thing...many one things, actually, especially anything that involves fabric and needles. Well, the only way to improve is to practice. I found the cutest pattern for a tote/purse and since I need a bigger purse to carry all the accessories that come with having two young children, I thought this would be a great project. And this is what I created- all for under $5! I'm kind of proud of myself and had to toot my horn a little. But I'm glad there were no witnesses this time because true to form, I did screw up royally (many times) but it all actually worked out in the end!

Diaper/wipes case to match

This post was more for my mom to see, who has been the one to see my fury and frustration with sewing most often. Toot, toot!
