I was honored to be asked to be a judge of the Sew Mama Sew Bag Contest and I was blown away by all the fantastic submissions. It makes me start thinking about sewing again.

Stay tuned for the winner and check out the Flickr Photo Pool.

We’re planning a wedding…so I’m under strict instructions to keep my spending under control. So since I really want a new bag I’m going to make one instead. I discovered this great tinsel pattern over at knitty.com.

My first step is going to be checking out some local craft stores here in Houston to look for some nice bamboo handles. Then instead of fraying metallic fabric for yarn I’m going to use some recycled sari yarn that I was originally going to used for a scarf.

A new bag for about $25! ($20 yarn + $5 handles)
