Christmas Presents or maybe Birthday

Three of my four girls have birthdays in a 3 week period this month, so I have lots of shopping and creating to do.  Last year I made Erin Amy Butler's Sophia Bag and the past 2 days I made her the Amy Butler Weekender Bag.  We walk at our local rec center almost every night and  tonight she said I really wanted that Weekender Bag  last year for my birthday but you said it was too expensive to make.  I said oh, sorry, I did say that and it is getting too late to make one for Christmas or your birthday, maybe next year.  I am a tricky, sneaky mom and guess what I finished last night?  Yes, her Weekender bag!  Take a look:

I added the lining fabric between the straps and made a small pocket on one side.

Now she will have a complete set.  So if you see Erin, sshhh don't tell her!

I am going to try to make two Sophia bags and two Weekender bags yet this month.  Sophias for twin's birthdays and Weekenders for their Christmas.

I better get off this computer and go sew!

September is National Sewing Month

I received an email from Reed at Overstock.com or o.com and he complimented me on my blog and projects (thanks, Reed).  Reed wanted to share with me a graphic from Overstock's blog and ask if I would put it on my blog.

Here it is - some interesting facts:

Here is a link to the blogpost

Please note: I am not affilidated with Overstock, they contacted me to provide this information.

So do you have any plans in celebrating National Sewing Month (other than sewing)?
