Blue fur bag and the party has just begun..

I've been getting all exicited about making accessories lately. This bag is not only one of the first purses I made, but it is also the first time I worked with faux fur.

I paired it up with a dress I recently made from fabric that was once part of a very ugly vintage skirt. I think I only bought the skirt because I loved the fabric, but after not wearing it once in almost two years I decided that it was safe to cut up. I am soooo glad I did...

More "Fall 2011": Couldn't help myself

Apparently the sewing frenzy began just as I posted my "complete" Fall 2011 collection. Here's a couple pieces I managed to add to the collection before things got real crazy over in Asia-Studies-thesis land...
