I like the looks of the Barbados Bag from Pink Sand Beach Designs, so I made time and spent a weekend to make a bag for myself.
If you click on the photo of the bag pattern, it will take you to the Pink Sand Beach Design’s website.
I did have some trouble understanding the pattern instructions, but I labeled my pieces and took my time to sew. The only adjustment that I needed to make was to shorten the shoulder strap. The bag came down to my knees when I tried on the strap!
Now that I’ve made one bag, and I understand what I am doing, I am planning on making more. It is a good size and has lots of pockets. Although I made my first bag with my hand-dyed fabric, this bag will look great in all sorts of fabric combinations!

We meet every fall, but I am always surprised when we meet. This time of year, I know to look around before I decide to catch some Vitamin D and do some yard work.
I know it. But I don’t always do it.
On this day, I had finished taking photos of a sewing project, and thought that I might as well do a little yard work while I was outside anyway.
That’s when I noticed her.
I keep a cautious eye, but I’m not worried. We’ve met before. But this time, I have my camera handy.
What is she interested in?
The pears aren’t ripe yet, but she likes them just the way they are.
