Bag.

Basically i'm getting a little obsessed about sewing... getting library books, reading blogs, dreaming about learning to sew better. Today i'm working on a purse. I really like the pattern, though it's turning out a little bigger than i expected.i started sewing it on monday and today finished the lining, pocket, and the straps. the pocket was sewn in a very interesting way.

anyway. I'm really working on trying to get through my stashes of yarn and fabric. and trying to not buy more. ha. i know it is working, but seems slow, and sometimes i need to buy something to finish a project, and then i risk seeing other awesome stuff i want to buy.
so... here is a finished project! Simplicity 2685 view B. I like it, though it was bigger than i expected. i learned by just how it was constructed.   

Sidenote: i passed my driver's test today. it has been many years of trying to avoid learning, but this summer i have become more confident, and i passed today! (if you know me, you'll know that last year (or was it two) i failed.
i drove myself to the bank today. i know it might be a while till i feel confident to go across town by myself, but i'm really happy! yay!
