I love how you covered these up!<br /><br />Also, in general, I have to say that I love your sewing. I love the creative way that you use color and pattern. I love that sometimes you don't even cut the scrap, just sew something around it. Wow. You have freed me from a lot of the creativity destroying need for 'perfection'. Thank you so much for that!<br /><br />((I think I have commented before, but not often or recently.

The re-user in me coming to the fore :)<br /><br />And this is unrelated, but in following the link to your bag in the Dec. 19, 2012 post, I noticed the family photographs ... is the photo on the left (the little girl only) YOU? because your sweet Phoebe looks very like that little one ...!jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-27291496051052253782015-09-20T12:38:26.228-04:002015-09-20T12:38:26.228-04:00I've been known to do this!

I often purchase bags at thrift stores with other people's monograms on it - it might be a brand new LL Bean tote, but because it has someone else's monogram on it, it's marked for $1 or less. The only people who know it's someone else's monogram are people who know me and they (I think, I hope), just chalk it up to my quirks. And cheapness. I did however, recently cover up a monogram with a patch - the bag, a fabulously huge Land's End beach tote, was from a friend who just went through a very painful divorce. It had her married initials on it and while I decided the bag was incredibly useful, I thought it best to cover her monogram. She was absolutely thrilled about the whole thing, so I think it was win-win!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879162672311458964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-40998006522883609012015-09-20T11:01:14.651-04:002015-09-20T11:01:14.651-04:00Great idea!!!Great idea!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576053785355324560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-5699171418807362982015-09-19T20:47:38.673-04:002015-09-19T20:47:38.673-04:00Your bags have me inspired!

The funny thing is, I normally don't like logos but I actually don't mind on my shopping bags. One thing I've noticed when I use my bags is that the cashiers at Meijer pull out all the other bags before they use the Meijer shopping bags. I think they want to see what the look like!Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16139188188043795169noreply@blogger.com
