Remake and Moda

We got Rachel this little set of golf clubs for her birthday. The bottom tore out after she had been using it for no more than 5 minutes. I took it to the sewing room and put several good, strong seams to hold the bottom on. As I was turning it right side out, the bottom came out again. It's just this cheap nylon stuff. So, I decided to make her a new bag using some jeans material I had on hand. I used the ball and tee holders from the old bag and the nylon shoulder carrier thingie. Here's how it turned out.
I also really like Moda Bake Shop. They put up so many interesting tutorials. I whipped up this bag for a very brave lady who is letting all seven of us sleep in her house. I'm going to tell her husband that I don't sew for boys, so that's why he doesn't have a gift.

You are so amazing at the sewing machine! I wouldn't have known where to start on the golf bag, but yours looks great! I also like the bag. That is one lucky lady - all 7 of you *and* a bag. I'd settle for just all 7 of you. *wink, wink*
