If you're a crafty woman who always needs a new bag - and let's face who doesn't? -  The Purse Project blog may be for you! 

Woof Nanny shares her current obsession with vintage linens and patterns.  She has a calendar towel/bag challenge running through this month and hosts a Flickr group of vintage patterns. 

There is also an extensive list of tutorials on making purses and bags.  Among them is a wonderful pattern for a grocery bag that folds into it's one little bag cosy! courtesy of Lisa from U-Handbag!

I'm going to be trying out Tiny Happy's Shoulder Bag today, adding pockets for my cell and wallet on one side, and my journal/sketch book on the other.  This YakPak out of a t-shirt is calling to me too!
