A few weeks ago, I decided to make this bag:
with this girl:
and taught to us by this girl:
I have to say that I was a bit nervous to make the bag because I felt like it was a pretty big project for someone as inexperienced at sewing as me. Remember that episode of the Cosby Show when Denise offers to make Theo an exact replica of that fancy Gordon Gartrail shirt he was dying to have?
I honestly thought I was going to have my own "Gordon Gartrail" moment and have some sort of jacked-up bag that was all lopsided and crazy stitching everywhere. To my pleasant surprise, the bag turned out great, though I'm sure it was due to Amy's expertise and patience, more that any talent or skill on my part.Here's my new fab bag:
Here's a pic of Amy and me modeling said bag:
I'm totally obnoxious with the bag too. I think I told like 5 people at swim lessons today, "Hey, look at my bag. I made it myself...." Insufferable, I know. Just let me have my moment, okay!

Yeah, it is super cute. And I looked at those stitches, and they are for sure straight. Great Job Lindsay. You've inspired me. Also, did Carson take that picture of you and Amy??? Love it!
It is absolutely fantastic. You are really getting some mad sewing skills girl.

Your comparison to that Cosby show episode had me laughing. I totally remember that. The bag turned out really cute, it looks perfect for fitting all of your summer supplies in to take to the pool or around town. Great job!
