Yesterday, my Seamstress pulled a bag out from under the sofa, "What's this?" she cried. Oh my. One of my 40 UFO's. A cute handbag from Rowan that was 99% almost finished. "Finish it!" she screeched in my direction. "Alright! Get off my back, Woman!" I hate to be pressured to do something when I'm not ready to do it. But I went ahead and put down the Chevron scarf and knitted the 3 more inches of purse strap...and what do you know? A FO! Crowds cheer! Flags wave! It only took me 2 years to complete! How does this bag stack up to the designer bags that are an essential part of my being? Let's look at the cost...
Rowan book "Big Easy"- $15.00
1 ball of Biggy print- $14.00
1 ball of Big Wool- $14.00
Antique pin from Mother's jewelry box - approx $150.00
8 hours of labor with an hourly wage of $300/hr - $2400.00
Total cost of the Bagette bag is $2593.00
Worth it? Sure, whatever...
