Where Did It All Start?

 I've been sewing since I could hold a fork!  Sewing developed so many character traits in me I just have never decided to not do it.  Here are just a few of the wonderful things I learned:

• ability to stay on task and complete it
• attention to detail
•  take on a challenge of a new technique
• self confidence
• endurance
• most of all the joy of looking back at what I finally accomplished in a finished project!

So then I decided to make myself a bag, because I couldn't find what I wanted in the stores.  After finishing my bag and wearing it everywhere people asked me where I got the bag.  I said, "I made it!"  They wanted one too!  Thus Bags from Rags was coined. 

After much time spent developing patterns and matching fabrics my bags became a bit more elegant if  you will.  I thought they deserved a better name than Bags from Rags.  With the WWW being at my fingertips I searched how to say it in that beautiful romantic language of French.  That's how Bags from Rags became Sacs de Chiffon par Cindy!  Now don't ask me to speak more than that in French!  That's about all I can speak.  Although I would love to visit the beautiful countryside of France someday.
