Frou Frou Gypsy in Combat Boots

I know it's not just me... this summer has flown by! my kids go back to school on Thursday!!! I have managed to sew a few things this summer in all the insanity... I made this bag....and i hated it! just wasn't happy at all with it and was so upset that i spent time on it and used that too cute birdie fabric on it... Here is the bag after my BFF made me rip it apart and re-make it so that it was tolerable! I am much much happier with it now....and not so upset for the use of the cutie birdies! This bag i LOVE! It is entirely from vintage fabric my Aunt gifted me with! I love that! It is made from a Simplicity pattern that I can't find at the moment to tell you the # of! If you really want to know, leave a comment and i will dig around til i find it for you! I was so proud of this interior zipper pocket!! (vintage gifted zipper too!) I added this fabric rose bling....not origional to the pattern... and here it is finished! i totally love it and the second it even thinks of ...

Here are a couple of bags i have finished up recently. This first one i LOVE and can't wait till fall so i can use it! It is made of 100% vintage fabric that my Aunt gifted me with. Even the zipper i used on the inside came out of the box of goodies from my Aunt! This one....i started back before Easter. It was going to be my "spring bag". It got set aside and i finally finished it just to get it off my projects list. I am not super happy with it. I LOVE that birdie fabric, so i am bummed that i am not lovin' the bag. I don't love the shape and size of the bag...but it's not workin' for me in other ways either. I feel like i need to do more embroidery .....ideas???
