Oh wait, it's 3 months past my birthday? I hadn't noticed. You wouldn't notice, either, if your little sister got you a sewing machine for your birthday [and it happened to be 3 months after your birthday]!
So it turns out while it was Emily's day to be celebrating, she finally bought me my birthday & Ayyám-i-Há present: a new sewing machine! I am sooo excited for this to come in the mail today! Isn't she the best?
So to break in my new machine, what should I make? I have lots of things pinned on my DIY board, but I only have a few days before I leave on my big trip and I'd like to complete a project before departing. Also, I don't have a serger, so I'd like my first project to be a huge success...not a "this would have turned out better if I had a serger" kind of project.
Here are some ideas I'm toying with; what do you think?

| Leather Fold Over Clutch |
Or perhaps this, which I wouldn't actually use for makeup - more like "pencil pouch":
 |
| Mini Boxy Makeup Bag |
This requires a serger, but maybe it would be ok without? Perfect for my niece & nephew:
 |
| Little Messenger Bag |
Or a new textbook tote for me:
 |
| Colorblock Tote |
And then maybe when I get back from my grand adventure, I'll whip out one of these [even though they probably require a serger]:
 |
| Guilded Skirt |
Happy late birthday! Thanks for following our blog!
