more sewing

I really need to stop myself- day 4 of sewing this week, my 4th project complete, and I think the sewing bug is finally starting to subside... like maybe I can walk away from my sewing machine for the (rest of the) day and even do some housework! Okay, so maybe it's just because So You Think You Can Dance is on tonight that I will leave the machine and fold some laundry instead! Anyway, here is today's project, a new purse. I used the Taxi Tote pattern from Seams to Me, but altered it a bit, adding the pleated side pockets (thanks to this tutorial), making it reversible with a tie instead of a button closure, and using two different fabrics for the outside. Sew, without further ado, here it is!
