I love college football. It means that fall is around the corner and although in Florida that doesn’t mean much weather wise I still enjoy what comes with this time of year. Fall means things like pumpkin flavors, including pumpkin beers with cinnamon and brown sugar rims, the start of a new school year, and the start of college football. Of the aforementioned I mostly enjoy college football because of the comradery; a group of people getting together wanting and cheering for the same thing. Win or lose friendships are fostered.

This past Saturday a few hours before the Florida Gators, my favorite team, played I had a last minute idea to make an orange and blue bag. After a trip to the fabric store I pieced together a cross body bag similar to a bag I previously made for my sister in law. She often tells me how useful the bag has been for her and she’s received a few compliments. That feels good! This is what I made:

Cotton, fully lined, floral cross body tote

Photo enhancements make the blue and orange look a little different but who doesn’t enjoy filter magic?! The bag is small enough to force me to decide what the essentials are and let go of those that aren’t. Thank you college football for the inspiration, fun, and unity. If it’s not college football that brings energy and fun into your life, what does? Whatever it is, do it.
