✏ We went back-to-school this week and I'm dealing with a new bus schedule that's very out of wack from what we've been used to. I've also had to make several trips back and forth to the school for this form or that meeting. It's had me thrown off.
✂ I did finish up a new bag yesterday, the Ramona mini-hipster from Swoon. It's for Mia so I used some really cute Halloween prints. I hope to get through a few Halloween projects.
🌺 I'm steadily working on my Anniversary Restock this 15 September. It's my official one year anniversary and I already have almost 18 new items ready to go.
🐘 I guess my other big news is that I've created my new shop. Sew Gratitude will be for my bags, wallets, pouches, and malas. I still have a lot of set up to do, but I'm aiming for a 15 October launch.

Open Wide!
We did some back-to-school shopping before our Ferragosto trip to London. How we did it, I have no idea, but we managed to forget to get a pencil case. While we were gone I got a big order or fabrics in and going through it Mia discovered a chunk of Stitch print Disney fabric and we decided that I'd make her a bag out of that.
I used this pattern from Noodlehead.
It was very well written and easy for me to follow and very easy to make. I did have to redraft the actual size and shape of the bag from a pouch into a long squat case, but I do a lot of math and calculations with GGApothecary so I was surprised how easy it was for me to visualize the new dimensions.
I used a light interfacing on the lining and a stiffer one on the outside panels to give it some body. I will have to make and add a zipper pull for little hands so it's easier to open and close.
Overall, though, I love this project and plan to make more!
