There is something about the start of a new season that brings with it new ideas, inspirations, and excitement. Fall--by far, has always been my favorite season and I decided this year to start it off right by celebrating the beauty. My first fall challenge was to design and sew a new fall purse. Here is how it went:
The pattern was sketched out....
I dreamed about sewing
The fabric was cut......
I dreamed about sewing
The interfacing was sewn in......
I dreamed about sewing
I started my first week back at school.......
I didn't dream at all, but rather slept like a ROCK!
The cool weather approached this week....................
I started (finally) sewing!
With all the excitement and joy of starting a new school year, I had to take a step back from sewing for a few weeks. However, my project was never too far from my heart and mind, as you can see! I honestly didn't think I would have the time to complete my first fall challenge before the cool weather began to set in, but once I felt that bite in the air, I headed straight home from school, marched upstairs to my sewing room, and didn't stop until it was done.
I had good intentions of taking pictures along the way and sharing all the steps with you, but there is only so much time during the week nights to get things done! I am happy with the way it turned out--especially since this was my first dabble at designing a pattern of my own that incorporated unique pockets and sturdy fabric.
I would definitely make it again--only I might use leather next time.
Stay tuned for more upcoming fall projects and ideas! I will be sure to include some step-by-step photos.
