It's my BAG, BABY!!!

Okay! So yet again it was one of those days and I had this undying urge to go to SEW to SPEAK and get some fabric and make something! I walked in knowing that I was not leaving until I had a project to do. So I picked what I thought was the hardest project for me to tackle... The Amy Butler Weekender Bag. I love this bag, I had to have this bag, I would have paid for someone to make me this bag. But not today.... oh no .... today I was going to challenge myself and go completely outside of my comfort zone and follow directions and follow a pattern and measure things!!




So here it is!! My very first bag with a zipper and pockets and piping!! TA-DA!!


But don't look inside... it's a mess in there. - that's for another day.

So I was shopping at Wholly Craft the other day and I saw a postcard/business card with this sweet little owl on it. I picked it up and realized it was a promo card for a new fabric shop in Columbus! Only 6 months old, this shop this shops seems to be doing really well!! When I visited for a looksy, I was greeted by Anita (the store owner) and her granddaughter. So cute, by the way. The bright, but classy decor of her store really compliments the gorgeous fabrics she has available.

I seriously could have bought everything in the store!

Designers such as Amy Butler, Anna Marie Horner, Alexander Henry etc. can be found here! As well as designer patterns and books from basic sewing to accessories

As if the overall appearance wasn't enough, Sew to Speak also offers classes! So check out their blog: sewtospeak.blogspot.com
