Swwappin about me!!!!

I love Swoon Patterns - those are the purses and bags that I make. I have done the swaps from the beginning and love it!!!! This time we were to create a Cate (pattern name) that would be about us. Here is what mine looked like and my story!
Here is my Cate. The purple leaves represent my husband and I. When we got married I asked him what his favorite color on me was so that my bridesmaids could wear that color. Purple it was. Purple is my favorite color. My husband loves morning glories and this print reminded him of them. The blinged out keychain is all me. The more bling the better. The inside represents my kids. I have 5 kids and the blue represents life and a breath of fresh air that my kids bring to my life. The vintage lace flower hair clip/brooch represents my love for retro and vintage as well as my businesses as an accessory creator and wholesale supplier. The crown represents my faith. I'm a Christian and the crown represents being a daughter of the King. I hope Sharon Bratton loves Cate as much as I do.

What's really unique about this swap is that each purse has a story!!! In past swaps you tried to make a bag you thought your swap partner would like. This time we made one that represented us. It was a fun and unique swap. 

Don't tell my dimpled Betty but this pattern is my favorite to sew! Its simple but elegant!!! There are minimal pieces and the zipper is easy to sew into her. I love Cate!!! Below is the link to buy the pattern.
