I CAN ALMOST SMELL THE PINEAPPLE...

I love purses and bags, almost as much as I love shoes...and when perusing my favorite craft site (craftster.org) yesterday, I ran across the most wonderful idea...I'm very challenged when it comes to sewing...to say I suck at it would be an understatement...BUT...I found a simple pattern (even for me) with simple supplies and decided to give it a go.....so if you give a sewing challenged girl a pretty tropical looking placemat, some pretty tropical fabric, and a sewing machine, look what she can do...

Side of bag...

Inside pineapple lining complete with cellphone pocket....

This was such a simple project that I made it through with only mild profanity, and that was ONLY while I was struggling slightly with the lining a bit.... It's not perfecto, BUT, I made it with my own itty bitty hands and I love it....
