The first sewing machine I used was borrowed from my boyfriends mom. She was great she allowed me to ask as many questions as I could possibly ask. She purchased a sewing machine for me this summer and I wanted to thank her with something that I had made especially for her. I found a new bag pattern that is all squares which makes it super quick to put together. Here is the final result. I picked a light color for the inside of the main bag and the pockets because it is so much easier to see what is in your bag. I also loved how little fabric was needed compared to the amount needed to make the sling bag.
When I went to a large craft store when visiting home I tried to find the magnetic snap I used for this bag. I couldn't find it! I think I am going to stick with the small quilting store here in my college town. They have such great things. They are definitely a cut above the rest.
