Yesterday while I was sitting in major traffic on my drive home from work, I was thinking about where I wished I was instead. Italy, Greece, the Caribbean. So it got me thinking about summer socializing: the beach, picnics, barbeques, etc. I suddenly got the idea for my next project, which I’ve named my Bianco/Rosso Bag (White/Red in Italian). I decided it would be great to make a bag that could hold 2 bottles of wine, one red and one white, to transport to spring and summer events. I made this bag up completely as I went along, although I’m sure I’m not the first person to think of a similar idea. But I’m actually really proud of it, it is the first sewn project I’ve made that came entirely from my own imagination. I was so excited when I finished it this morning that I woke my husband up out of a dead sleep so I could model my creation.
