(with a little help of course!) I am quite proud of myself for this beautiful bag that I made, especially since it is my first real sewing project. I got together with Ericka, Edna, Griscel, Gabby and Sister Panduro to make the bag. I was told it would only take a couple hours, I should have known better. We started at 9:15pm Friday and I got in my car to drive home Saturday at 4:05 am and the others weren't even done yet! I was exhausted, but it was totally worth it! I had a lot of fun and learned a lot about sewing. For example:
1. Every purse needs a "hot pocket."
2. Don't buy a "White trash" machine, go straight for the Viking.
3. When your project seems like it isn't working out, turn it into a place mat.
4. If the instructor can't keep her pieces straight, you're in trouble!
5. Always follow the instructions...but don't let Ericka be the interpreter!
6. Every craft project must include chocolate!
(Sorry if those don't make sense, maybe you had to be there!)
Anyway...my loving husband let me sleep in until 11am and take a 2 hour nap with Lauren. So I am sure I will be recovered by Sunday. I feel a lot more comfortable with sewing now and am glad I did it. Thanks for the help girls!

Oh man I am laughing! I even made Paul come over and read your post! He didn't think it was as funny as I did, in fact he may have rolled his eyes a couple of times. Anyways...you're bag is so cute...that I went and got more fabric to make another one like yours! Thanks for joining us and I'm glad you had a good time! Hot Pocket!
