So exciting...

So, I have made a couple of simple things with my new sewing machine, like an eye mask that can be put in the refrigerator and a hot water bottle cover from a button-up shirt (both from Handmade Home by Amanda Soule), but I wanted to make something with a little more detail.  Well, ta-da!

This is the Mama's Bag, also from Handmade Home.  It took me less than a day to make and I was so excited after I finished that I just want to make another one!  I don't know how well you can see, but it has pleats where the handle attaches to the bag.  Love it!
