Since I have been doing more in sewing than cardmaking lately, I wanted to share with you a couple of websites that I like to go to.

If you are like me, and lots of other ladies, you love bags, purses, totes!  I love to get new purse patterns and tutorials.  Christine has some awesome patterns and they are in PDF downloadable files, so it's instant.  I get very impatient when I am waiting for new patterns LOL.

Here is her blog - ChrisW Designs The picture below is one of her new FREE patterns so you should go and check it out!  Her tutorials are awesome - very detail instructions and lots of pictures.  I have also bought lots of her tutorials and never been disappointed.  ChrisW Designs is also on Facebook, so be sure to check for the link on her blog and for her shop.  Some awesome bag tutorials for you to choose from.



 
And since we are talking about making bags, you will need a place to get some beautiful fabric.  Michelle from The Life and Times of The Hypernoodle is great.  By Michelle's definition of 'hypernoodle', I will say that I am one too! LOL. Go to her blog and you will be updated with sales, coupons, giveaways and what's coming.  Plus the links for her fabric shop and her purse shop are there.  Her website has the best pictures for viewing the fabrics, AND she also pairs them up so you can shop for co-ordinating fabrics easily.  Michelle carries lots of my favorites like Michael Miller Fabrics · Alexander Henry Fabs · Amy Butler Fabrics · Ty Pennington Fabrics · Free Spirit Fabrics · Ann Kelle RKAUFMAN and Robert Kaufman. Shipping is quick too!  Michelle's purses are beautiful and very professionally done!

You want to make a bag today?  Go check both of these places and you can get started.  I have my patterns and new fabrics - now to decide which one I'm doing and with what print. Life is rough huh? LOL - I could make a few too :)

I hope you enjoyed this info.  I will be posting more about sewing related projects and products.  I need to push myself for some upcoming events and not slack off - need to build my stock up again. 

Will chat with you all later - leave me a comment and say hi :) and remember ...................
