Every year I remember why I’m scared of the ocean.

Jaws.  I grew up in the midwest and I saw the movie before I ever saw the ocean.  Poor planning.

Another Companion Carpet Bag, pattern by Sewing Patterns by Mrs. H.

I put my 9 college credits in Philosophy to good use -the red handles represent the bloodshed caused by that cranky shark.

I put tabs on this bag to pull open the top.  The tabs are shark snouts!  I crack myself up.

I really agonized over the lining.  For about a minute.  Last week I just happened to buy some sushi fabric.

I find such joy in starting a project with absolutely no plan.  I just picked up my Jaws, decided it needed to be a purse, and started cutting.  I almost got stumped when it came to the handles.  Thank heavens for higher education.

This fabric has been screaming to me in my sewing room.

I love color.  I love bold.  And I don’t own a black purse.

This is the larger version of the Companion Carpet Bag pattern by Mrs. H.  The purse frame is from Emmaline Bags.

I think I could carry camping supplies in here.  Like I would go camping!

The sparkle vinyl bottom will protect against cooties.  Because purses are prone to catching cooties.

DSCN1534I like to call this dude the Frito Bandito.  Or the ai-yi-yi-yi guy.

DSCN1545I used this fabric previously to make a couple of gifts.

DSCN1536 He’s back for an encore.

DSCN1547 The pattern is the Companion Carpet Bag by Sewing Patterns by Mrs. H ( http://www.mrs-h.com )

DSCN1551The purse frame is sturdy and make the bag look really professional.
