Upgraded Upcycling...using a Quality Pattern

I've been in sort of a creative rut this year, but guess what has kept me motivated?  Patterns and classes!  Yep. I have dove nose deep into online tutorials on youtube, and the indie sewing classes and patterns offered on Craftsy.

This week I purchased and downloaded a pattern for The Bridget Handbag, a sewing pattern by Susie D Designs on Craftsy (it was only $2!!).  But just because I'm using a new pattern doesn't mean that I can't use upcycled materials. Nope! I'm adding my own little special {upcycled} twist, so you'll have to stay tuned for the finished piece.

I'm already signed up for the Project Upcycle Craftsy class just for fun, and would like to do a blog-a-long with it.  Who wants to play!
