I have more bags than I know what to do with...

I mean to work on other projects, but somehow I keep ending up making purses for myself. Three new ones over the past few days (plus one gift as well)



This was one of the more complicated bags I've ever made. Plastic canvas between the lining and the corduroy. The hardest part was stitching the lining in. It's bigger than I originally planned on, but I still love it.








This one I made to match the hoodie vest that I posted a week or so ago. I'm in love with this fabric. So tiny I don't know what I'll do with it though.




For size




The Academy Is... tote bags. I started making one for a holiday swap that's going on at the TAI lj community, then I decided I wanted one, too, so I made two that are almost the same. I don't know exactly how long they took, but I do know that I watched about 2.5 seasons of Friends while sewing them.

Lining (mine, obviously, as this one is full of my junk)


Okay this isn't a craft, but I did make the veggie burger that you can see my cat scheming to get his grubby little paws on in this picture...
