Material Devotion

I was never a bag person before kids.

I didn't understand the people I knew who bought bag,

after bag, after bag.

Same with shoes.

But now, I must open my bag,

take out my shoe, insert foot,

and eat words.

I am obsessed.

Not just with the perfect bag

(not too big, not too small, not too heavy,

water resistant, good shoulder strap,

all the right pockets & dimensions etc.)

But, I am also obsessed with this material.

I loooooove it!!

This is my first attempt at the bag, and by adding

too many pockets, and not expanding the depth,

it's not quite right.

I adapted the pattern from OCD, but I think I'll try

again and make it a wee bit wider.

So close.

Then I made another diaper clutch for two sizes of diapers.

And another grab bag for a change of clothes.

If I confessed to making a phone case from the same material

would you diagnose me?

Bonus Projects...

A la peanut butter sandwich!

Also, another sweater.

This was meant for the sweetie, but his shoulders were too massive

(tee hee)

So bonus for me. Then I girled it up a bit.

With cozy hood...

Weird ribbon fabric knit into the sleeves...

And a favorite button.

Then...

A little diaper clutch.

And a needle case.

...because clearly I am becoming a sticks girl.

OK baby.

Now your turn to start creating!
