I wandered over to the fabric store after making my weekly trip to the library (where I typically grab several issues of this magazine and this one, oh and this one too--a girl can dream, right? Side note: I also picked up this movie it's a must see. It's the original movie You've Got Mail is based on.) I bought the pattern to make this bag. I often pretend I'm pretty crafty and can hold my own with a pair of scissors but I pulled out the pattern and it was daunting. Seriously, what's a gusset? I obviously don't know sewing lingo. It said it was for beginners--which to me means: just learned how to thread the sewing machine--so I thought I was good. I'm going to go ahead and try to make it. If it turns out too ugly I'll just gift to whoever I pick for Christmas this year. Who's gonna be the lucky one? ...I'm only half joking.
I've narrowed it down to these fabrics. I must admit there are some really hip and trendy fabrics out there. Amy Butler's rocks! I want her job! Or to at least become best friends forever.

Oooh I wanna make one too! I've seen that pattern...and considered asking for a sewing machine for Christmas. Lets do it together! Party at Moms.
Sometimes I pretend I can sew too! Hey will you tell me where you found your fabric? I think I am looking at the wrong store- those are way cuter than the ones I have seen.
I have been trying to talk my husband in to buying me a sewing machine. It is because of Amy Butler and Heather Bailey that started this make unbelievable passion. One day...I keep on telling myself! but yeah, I love all the new fabric lately! good luck
I love it! I've seen the pattern and have been thinking maybe it will be my next project.
