Thank You


Designing a bag and publishing a pattern was BIG for me. It was a huge learning curve first time at bat. I would have been thrilled with just one sale. A very public thank you to those blog friends who have purchased the pattern and given me a little "free advertising". I hope you enjoy. s

The bag above was my "prototype" and I've claimed it for myself. It's first public "debut" was being taken with me to California. It holds a lot. I've been asked by those who do not sew if I'll sell ready made bags. The answer is yes, eventually. I hope to have some made up before year's end (other things topping my "absolutely MUST do" list at the moment)

Here is another copyright post I just happened upon, if you're interested.

Happy Weekend!

Stephanie, it wouldn't sell if it wasn't sellable. It's a beautiful bag as are all the others you've made and shown us. You seem to have found your niche and as a consumer, I personally want to thank you for affording us the opportunity to purchase your 'lofty creations'.

I just love the bag and the pattern. In fact, I just gave you some more advertising on my post I just put up. I really think that you did a phenomenal job on publishing this pattern and you deserve the accolades that you are receiving. I hope that you continue on this wonderful venture and wish you all the success in the world!

Love your bag!!!! I have been making totes/bags of my own design periodically for a long time, and have never taken the time to write up a pattern. You've inspired me - I might have to just get organized and take that next step!! :>) Thanks for the copyright link too!
