I am vegan for my health, the environment and compassion for all living things. I believe choosing to be vegan has been the single most important decision I have made for my entire life.

I want to join in too! It may be some time till I finish or get started for that matter, but I'm definately in!

The fabric looks great! Thank you so much for the link! I always feel like I struck gold when I find a free pattern I like! 

Ooops, forgot to ask, which fabric did you use?  It totally rocks on the Evelyn bag.

Thanks! Both fabrics are "Isabella's Garden" by Legacy Studio.

I finished this just in time for the new school year from a pattern I found for free here: http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/2011/07/1-2-3-sew-free-pattern-giveaway/ It was super easy, roomy and fun to make. I didn't use the bamboo batting the pattern called for, I used Insul-Bright batting instead.

wow! how long did it take to make? it is truley lovely

I estimate about 10 hours from start to finish. There were a lot of pieces that didnt have a pattern template and needed to be measured out and rotary cut.
 Thanks for all the compliments everyone!

Finished making my second bag ever. I am very happy with this one because it is actually practical and has enough pockets for all my needs. I bought the pattern here http://www.etsy.com/shop/ChrisWDesigns
and it was well worth it as the directions are so complete and it's a style worth repeating. Including the price of the pattern, the supplies cost around $25. Not bad.

These are awesome! I like where the print is. At first glance I almost thought it was knitted.

Beautiful!

This totally rocks!! It's so unique and inspiring, great work!
