leather and wool

I've been dying to show you this bag.  Actually, I've been dying to show anyone this bag, but I don't get out a lot.  The whole car-sharing thing, you know? 
 
I might be in love with leather.  I mean, I'm in love with Steve, but good grief I had no idea how amazing leather would be to work with. 
 
It makes everything better.  Much like Steve, actually. 
 
I digress.
 
I've been dreaming up this bag in my head for quite some time now.  It's what  I like to think about while I fall asleep.  Something I've found is that, if I've been thinking on a project for a while, when I actually sit down with it the sewing part goes very fast. 
 
Now that I've broken in my leather needle (yes, there really are leather needles), I can't stop thinking of what I might do next.  Discovering a new material is one of my favorite parts of making things. 
 
If you're wondering, that sexy looking chair that the bag is hanging on is my new desk chair.  I'll share more pictures of it when I do the big sewing space reveal, sometime very soon.  Soon-ish.  I've got a few more tweaks to make, but the end is in sight. 
 
I hope you have a fabulous weekend, friends!  If you see me around town, I'll be the one with the hot new bag.
