The beginning of this month, I signed up to take part in a creative exchange.
I was partnered with Cat from Stuff I Love, and it was a lot of fun getting to know her better. We sent a couple emails back and forth asking questions. Then I started stalking her blog,
probably read every post for the past year or so. Then it was her pinterest boards. I actually got somewhere, there!
The thing is, I had learned a lot about Cat. From what I could gather, there were some things we were alike in, but a lot of things that were completely different. So it was challenging but I truly enjoyed it! I found my inspiration of what to make her on Pinterest, so here is a picture of that.
I noticed every thing she like was in fall colors as well. So with the above bag in my mind I made a little trip to the store to see what I could find.
I didn’t have a pattern or any thing but I thought I could make a bag somewhat like that one. Here is what I came up with.
And because there was fabric left over I made a little pouch too.

The fabric really is brighter than it looks here, don’t know why it looks so washed out.
So I really enjoyed this little exchange and also like what Cat made for me. I do believe I will want to do this again!
I link up at these Parties!








Hello, my name is Kendra. I am married to an amazing young man
named Jason, whom I lovingly call hubby when I’m writing. The only way I could ever explain our relationship is to use words like: crazy, silly, funny… well you get the point. He’s perfect for me! 

















I’m in love with this bag! Any type if sewing falls way out of my skills set. You did an amazing job, and it’s a great color.

Thanks! It’s not an exact copy of my inspiration but close. And don’t worry about not being able to sew. I think it was my 8th Christmas that I asked for a sewing machine.
What a great purse, Kendra. It’s such a fun fabric choice! Thanks so much for participating in The Creative Exchange!

And about the dress, I’m thinking maybe I will blog about it? I’ve gotten several questions recently, so we will see.
Cute bag and pouch! Red and oranges are hard to get true color photos.

Um, yes this was absolutely perfect! I was totally blown away! I have been drooling over that Pinterest bag for ages, and now I have my very own! The fabric is amazing and it’s exactly the right size. I cannot believe you didn’t have a pattern – it’s gorgeous! Thanks again for swapping – I’m going to try to get my post up tomorrow

You did such a great job with this bag! I love the fabric you picked
Thanks!
Wow, I think you did amazing & I think it’s almost a perfect match to the inspiration…only difference I see is the other one had adjustable straps…no biggie. I’m in awe of you ladies that can sew…what a blessing!!

Thanks! It took me awhile to figure it out as well
What a beautiful bag! I miss sewing…gradually getting back to quilting (tendonitis in hand).
