Dear Vera Bradley,

I love your bags and accessories. Unfortunately, med school takes all the money that I don't have and some more...

So, on one of my trips, to Jo Ann Fabrics, I found some patterns very much like yours, I couldn't handle myself and ended up buying a few yards.

The fabrics are so bright and colorful that I want to keep sewing and sewing...Letting my imagination create whatever I feel like.

Tonight, I made this cute tote!

I love being able to make bags like yours without spending lots of $$$.

Thanks,

Rachel

Sewing is always fun and it brings great joy to make something for someone I love.

Here are a few sneak picks:

You can guess what it is...but you can't guess who is getting it!
