Shabby Chic Cloth Haversack

Sewing and all things crafty have always been my passion though never have I been expert in any. I still enjoy the simple joys of thinking up a little something and then creating it with hopefully a lovely outcome.

Here is a bag I made in one night with minimal sewing skills. I found it on the "Tiny Happy" blog. She has a lovely site with wonderful ideas and fabulous tutorials that take you step by step on making these adorable projects.

I began making my cloth shoulder bag/haversack at 10pm and finished at 2am. Like I said I have very beginner sewing skills.

The fun is that you can choose any fabric style and color to suit you and line it with a matching fabric. JoAnn's Fabrics was having a sale the day I got this inspiration and made the bag for $8 total. Not too shabby I think! Here is the link to the tutorial on Tiny Happy.http://tinyhappy.typepad.com/tiny_happy/2006/06/shoulder_bag_tu.html .

Let me know if you are so inspired to make a little bag for yourself and post a picture or two, I'd love to see it!! Happy notions!

Fondly,

Sandy
