Sewing Frenzy!!

I've decided I need to brag about myself. I've been in a sewing mood for a couple months and have had a couple projects i'm rather proud of, if I do say so myself. My sister got married in March and her colors were brown and blue. Naturally I needed to make a new skirt for the occasion. This was going to be my first item of clothing I have attempted to make without my mom with me every step of the way. I think it turned out rather well.
I also saw a woman with a super cute purse at my sister-in-laws bridal shower. Upon conversation I found out her mother made it for her. Well that was good and bad. First step we got a picture and I sent it to my mom and asked her to make up a pattern for me. Then I sent my sister to the same material store the other purse started from. I told her to find me something cute and sent her a picture of what kind of purse I was making. Surprisingly she brought me the exact same fabric! After a lot of phone calls with my mom I have an extremely close replica of the original and what I think is a very cute purse.
