First, I just started a Market bag for my sister...Perfect for strolling the Farmers Market down by the beach where she lives...So Lucky!!
And the BIG project I have decided to embark on.....Several bags/purses/pouches from Scott's uniforms some of which have been to Iraq..."Yes they have been washed" :P
I figured these would be great gifts for his family I just need to get the nerve to cut into them...
I am sure next week's Creative Space will be showing these in more productive state but for now this is what I got....:)

I made heaps of bags out of Bren's old work pants last year and they were great except for cutting through all those thick side seams. I can't wait to see what you end up with. Loving the colour of that wool.
