It's the last day of March and I promised myself that I would post my accomplishments for the month. It seemed like I didn't get much done but I realized I spent a lot of time on Lynda Maynard's Craftsy's class "Sew the Perfect Fit".

Well I took advantage of that coupon and purchased the "Sew the Perfect Fit" class!! Rather than u

It's been busy and I have lots to post. I spent some time in New York City visiting my daughter. While we were there my husband was kind enough to spend the morning with me in the Fashion District. I got some great advice from "Shop the Fashion District" on where to go. It was extremely helpful and it was nice to know that "Mood Fabrics" wasn't your only choice! I think I managed to find something in every store I shopped and I scored some pretty great pieces! Some of them were only $5-$7/yd!! The challenge was finding room in my suitcase! I did make this cute little number to take with me on this trip. It's the third Amy Butler Weekender Bag that I've made. I did make some adjustments to on the bag to make construction a litt
