Can you guess what I'm making?

Can you guess what I'm going to be making tonight? 

A friend of mine makes flight suit purses and I've been drooling over them for months!  Tara's bags are the best I've ever seen {and I'm not just saying that to be nice}.  She doesn't just make the bag.  She includes embellishments, zipper pull charms, appliques, hand stitching,  inside pockets and great fabrics.  Best of all, she's not open for business! I love that she makes bags for fun and the money that she's given for making bags goes directly to charity.  

Two weeks ago, she taught me her secrets.  We talked for an hour and a half, but could have easily continued for hours.  As you can see in the picture below, I was taking notes the entire time we were on the phone! They are not pretty, but I know her tips will help me create an awesome bag of my own! 

Now, I just have to start cutting. I'm not sure why, but making the first cuts on the flight suit terrifies me! Maybe it's because I've never made a bag before or it could be that I only have one flight suit to work with... either way.... I've decided that tonight is the night!  As soon as I hit publish on this post, my scissors and I are getting to work.  I'm so nervous, but excited to make a bag of my own!
