Bags Bags Bags!

If you've seen the blog before you'll know that this past year I've taken up sewing. Well, this spring I started making bags and they are addictive! As if I didn't have an addition to buying bags before, now I'm also making more than I can use! Of course I've given one or two to my mother to lighten up my stash and to share the love :)
Here's a glimpse at two of the bags I've made from placemats, not nearly as cheesy as that sounds I hope. I've gotten a ton of compliments on the white one that is now my "go-to" purse for everyday use and I'm thinking about putting a few on my Etsy site...


Look , my first attempt at a button! I think it came out pretty well and I love these buttons with the leaf design, very pretty.
