mama's got a brand new bag

{Doesn't it look lovely in this light?}

{Doesn't the handle play nicely with the fabric?}

{Don't you just love it?}

OK, so I know there are more exciting bags out there. But I haven't had a new bag in quite a while, so I am beside myself. I bought some great kitchen towels from IKEA over a year ago and placed them in my stash thinking they would make cute bags. When I was busying away with making stuff for the reunion, I decided to pull one out and make a bag as well.

Um, I kinda fell in love with it and decided not to part with it.

Oops.

Fortunately, this thing was crazy easy to make so I made another one for the reunion and I did part with it. And guess what? I took enough pictures of the other one to make a tutorial, so I am working on that. Anyone interested in the tutorial? It took under an hour to make and it only requires the most basic of sewing skills. Really. All of you lurkers, now is your chance to make your voice heard (while boosting my confidence and reminding me that people actually read my ramblings).

I know... a kitchen towel bag tutorial may not make you want to shout with joy, but the end result is quickly and easily obtained (bonus points for that). And did I mention it is super cute?
