Bags & Bruises

With the trend of big bags, my mother found her forearms were often bruised because her bag was so heavy. I think she needs to dump some of her stuff. I mean what was she carrying in there? Instead she decided to make a bag with fabric handles instead of leather. I think this was made from a Vogue pattern with some Japanese fabric we had been saving.
Has anyone noticed out there that some of the pattern pieces just don't fit? It didn't happen with this bag, but some recent undergarments I made and a blouse my mother is currently working on have the wrong shaped pieces. Considering how expensive patterns are, you'd think they'd get them right or at least test them out before they sell them. Has anyone else out there had this experience?

Hi Michele, well also the problem with some patterns they done allow you to turn them around they look awful if you try. What a gorgeous bag, so very pretty, and beautifully made. Well done girls, with love and hugs Shirleyxxxxxxx

This is how my colleague Wesley Virgin's tale starts with this shocking and controversial video.

You see, Wesley was in the army-and soon after leaving-he discovered hidden, "self mind control" tactics that the CIA and others used to get everything they want.

THESE are the exact same methods many famous people (especially those who "come out of nowhere") and the greatest business people used to become rich and successful.

You've heard that you use less than 10% of your brain.

Mostly, that's because the majority of your BRAINPOWER is UNCONSCIOUS.

Perhaps that conversation has even taken place INSIDE your own brain... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's brain about seven years back, while driving an unregistered, garbage bucket of a car with a suspended driver's license and with $3 in his pocket.

"I'm very frustrated with living payroll to payroll! Why can't I turn myself successful?"

You've been a part of those those types of thoughts, isn't it so?

Your own success story is waiting to start. Go and take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
