Alyssa Turns 15!

My cousin turned 15 on February 28th. She's the baby of the grandkids on my dad's side and it seems so crazy she's almost old enough to drive. I still remember when she was born and we were all at the hospital. lol. I sound so old. Next, I'll be calling her and telling her, "When I was your age we didn't have cars..."

So to celebrate her birthday, I made her a handbag with my birthday present, a sewing machine! My birthday was the 15th of February and I was pumped my parents gave me a sewing machine. This handbag was my 2nd sewing project. My goal is to have an Eco Friendly handbag business (in addition to photography). Not bad for my first one :)

I want one I can take to the beach so make bigger and with a beachy kind of fabric. I love the striped one you made. Hope it doesnt cost much for shipping.

I'm working on the design for you beach bag! Shipping shouldn't be a problem. It only cost me $4.95 to ship Alyssa her bag. I just have to find something large enough with cute beach fabric at the thrift store once I finish the design. It will probably take me about a week to finish your bag once I have everything I need. I only get a few hours of sewing in during the work week.
