It's PINK and PINK! Remember that line from Steel Magnolias when Julia Roberts said her wedding colors were blush and bashful? That kept coming into my mind when I made this bag.My daughter Charlotte talked me up to her 1st grade teacher who ended up ordering many items from me and still does! And I don't mind because I love to sew and the 1st grade teacher has challenged me and I love sewing for her!
"My mom sews! She has a website!" She's one of my biggest fans.
Charlotte did it again with her 5th grade teacher who also happened to see a purse I was carrying that I made. This teacher LOVES pink! I mean LOVES it! She is very girly and I love pink too but this woman LOVES pink.
She told me she wanted a large bag and we talked about the features she wanted and I sent fabric samples to school with Charlotte. She picked every pink sample I sent. She only had a few requests and I went with it. This is the girliest sweetest bag I have ever made. It almost makes my teeth hurt and I worried it was too over the top and the teacher wouldn't like it. Glad I was wrong. She loved it.
It has about 7 different fabrics, custom piping and an adorable pleated ruffle. Inside there is a water bottle pocket, pen pockets, stiff bottom, magnet snap and a key hooky claspy fobby thing.
It reminds me of Valentine's day. It came out so nicely and I kept admiring my own workmanship and thinking I should be charging more! But even better was seeing her sweet teacher so excited for her bag which was a birthday present for herself! That's how we should all treat ourselves. Get what you really love!

I don't consider myself a big fan of pink or a very girlie-girl, but I looked at that and thought "I want it!" You've seriously perfected the art of bag making, my dear sister.
Thankyou, my dear sister. I thought the same thing! I need to make it in blue or something and I will carry it. Are you still wanting another bag?
