My Own Personal Seamstress

Lexie has basically taught herself how to sew.  She came to me about a year ago and asked me to teach her, well I don't know much but I did what I could (which was basically show her how the sewing machine worked) and she took it from there.  So she is mostly self taught and she makes the most incredible things.  Here is just one example.  I saw this awesome bag thing on Pinterest but when I clicked through to the ladies blog there were no instructions just some pictures and a link to her etsy shop where you could by the darn thing for $45.  While useful and really cool I just couldn't justify spending that kinda money on the thing-there just wasn't that much to it.

So I enlisted my personal seamstress and asked her if she thought she could make something similar, the catch being that there wasn't a pattern for her to follow. She looked at the blog for a while and printed out the pictures that the lady did have and the very few tips the lady had typed up,
and then went to work creating her own pattern.  About 6 hours later she had produced not just one, but TWO of these cool bag things one for her and one for me.  She is amazing!
