	About Sew Sweet Bags
		For instance, a bag may turn out slightly different due to the "repeat" of the fabric design (this is especially true in toile fabrics, which usually incorporate several different scenes, only one or two of which will be seen in a single bag).
		I'd make a bag and use it for something, and pretty soon it became dedicated to a specific purpose (like a meeting bag, or library bag, or church bag, or travel bag, etc.).
		Then I realized what great gifts bags are, so I started making bags to give to family and friends.
