A new project cut out on the drawing table

Stitch Lab had a sale on fabrics this past weekend and I couldn’t resist the 25% off tag.

So I purchased.

And I planned this:

The blueprint

My inspiration was a reversible purse I purchased in high school from Urban Outfitters. Well-loved is a nice way of saying this purse was past its prime and my life was in need of a replacement. The challenge I had was to replace it with something that was going to be just as adorable as its predecessor. The idea came to completion when I remembered a free Design Within Reach canvas bag I got from a lunch a few months ago and saved just for such a reason. The two fabrics met in harmony in my mind and the result is already on its way to being well-worn and ratty with love. <3
