And she's finally done! Though I have to give my sister even more props, cause this thing was HARD for me to put together. I can't remember the last time I sewed anything - I think I might have been 8 or so (I sewed my own barbie clothes. I'm sure they were fabulous.) and this required me to sew together the lining and then sew it into the bag. I had to do it all by hand, but I think it turned out OK. Not great mind you, but I think it makes it look more handmade (or so I'm going to tell myself). And, since its a present for my future sister-in-law, and she has been very well raised, she'll probably flatter it enough that I'll walk away thinking its a work of art.
But then I'll always have this post to look back on to bring me back down to earth!
Anyway, without further ado, here is my version of the Chinese Charm Bag - TA DA:
So good in fact, that this is all that is left....
It goes without saying that I haven't been on the scale this week. **Sigh**

Very nice job, Kristen. I'm sure she will love the bag. I, however, was much more impressed witht the cake. Yummmm. Having eaten my share of pumpkin pie this week, I guess I will have to skip deserts for awhile. Love, Mom
