Things I'm happy with on the completed lunch bags:
- I followed the pattern
- Construction seems solid
- Fabrics look wonderful together
- I've learned a lot already
- Tops edges on handles didn't really "round" well
- The exposed seams on the inside bother me. I think I'll do another set with a lining and see how that goes
- Stop burning my fingers when ironing down the edges to turn them under before sewing :-)
Ali H. has already given me some great advice on creating and structuring the blog. Thanks Ali! It's nice to have virtual friends.

Pretty, pretty finished bags.
I'd say comment on blogs you like - I always check out the blogs of anyone who comments on mine.
Going to send a quick starter plug your way too!
LOve the bags!
Usually if some one comments on my blog, I then go to their blog and see what they have been up to. So sart commenting on their blogs. Also a profile photo, or picture is good, it will then come up by your comments. If they are intresting I can't wait to see their blog. Set one up.
Hi there, very cute bags. Have to third the commenting notion - if you comment on blogs you enjoy, chances are they'll enjoy yours too and when they see a new name pop up they'll come over and check you out.
Enjoy the ride!
PS - Joining in a community project that you enjoy - like Angry Chicken's Tie One On where you make an apron every month, or The Pincushion Challenge where you make a pincushion every two months, or the Whiplash Challenges, Self Portrait Challenge etc., is also a great way to meet fellow bloggers and get your blog known.
Hi there, I came over via Ali's. I'd say, post a profile picture (even if it is an old kindergarden one like mine), comment on blogs, and join challenges (I do Illustration Friday, Inspire Me Thursday, A Year of Color). Oh yeah, and give something away to whoever posts a comment (like I did on my sushi wallet). Glad to meet you!
Hello - I too came via Ali. I am a new blogger myself, I started just a couple of months ago, and I pretty much agree with everything everybody else has said. I have also found joining Flickr groups a great way of finding other people and encouraging others to browse my blog.
I wish you good luck and hope you have lots of fun.
Those are fun little bags, nice fabric choice too, lovely green.
My suggestion, post regularly (it doesn't need to be every day or even every other day, just enough to encourage people to keep visiting (you are off to a good start!) You can show us what you are thinking about or working on or what inspires you.
Have fun with it!
These are lovely, really pretty. Where did you get the pattern?
I burn my fingers and my tummy regularly if I am not paying attention!
It is perfectly possible to teach kids to like adult food. I’ve seen it done. It just takes some persistent action by adults who care about kids’ health and want to make a difference.
