I always thought that my bags are all meant for a particular person. Not that I know who that is, but I feel they are. Like one bag was bought by a friend of my daughters, she loved the bag so much. Turns out the coat I made the bag out of was found by my daughter in a thrift shop where she lives. These girls live across the country from each other and never talked about this coat.
So, I get a request for a bag, like one I make already, but this girl wants it a little deeper, no problem. She also would like it out of red leather. Now I have never seen a red leather coat in the thrift shop, so I get on facebook and implore my friends across the country to go thrifting to help me find one. I get in my old ratty truck and head to the thrift shop myself. I walk in and what is hanging right there, like it was just waiting for me........ a red leather coat! Call it whatever you want, fate, Divine blessing, karma, coincidence I say this coat was meant for her bag.
Now I'm off to the library to get a book on tape. I love to listen while I sew. Then I'm headed upstairs to turn this red coat into a bag this girl will love and use.
What kind of bag are you thinking about?
