Cuffs, the Bag That Wouldn't Shut Up!

Yesterday, after a long day with a migraine, things were finally starting to calm down. I was sitting on the couch and this bag popped into my head and said. “I must be made.” I was not in the mood to draw up a sketch or make a pattern last night…but the bag would not go away.

I grabbed a pencil and some printer paper, while my husband watched TV, I sketched. It took only two edits to the drawing to get the bag the way it wanted to be. Thought I was done for the night. I laid the sketch down and watched a little TV with DH…but that bag kept coming to the front of my mind. It said, “If you leave the sketch there, you’ll spill something on it. Make a Pattern!” “Grrr” I thought.

I looked at the pile of unused computer paper and thought about my pattern paper in the craft room. I just didn’t want to go get the pattern paper…or work in the craft room, so I decided to use computer paper. I thought, I can make the bag with three pattern pieces. (Reminded myself of the game show, “Name That Tune.”) I started to draw again. The pieces came out on the first try…everything fit together…no ruler…on erasing…just that simple.

I hoped the bag didn’t insist on being made last night…it didn’t. I made the bag this morning. It looks great if I do say so myself…there is only one problem…the bag in my head keeps telling me it was supposed to be white with a black cuff. LOL So I guess I’ll be making a trip to the fabric store and making the bag likes it wants to be.

Oh, don't forget about my GIVEAWAY!
