a new bag for me!

As much as I love sewing, I hate cutting out, it takes me such a long time to actually getting round to cutting anything out, the sewing time is minimal in reality! Anyway, I bought this fabric a while ago and the spotty lining fabric I got ages ago but couldn't decide what to use it for. I made a horse bag a while ago, and I love it but it isn't quite big enough for Japanese lesson day and other days when I have to take out more than the usual bag essentials. So, much to hubbys disgust (he thinks everyone woman only needs ONE bag!) I whipped up this little beauty yesterday morning and I love it, maybe even more than the horse bag.
I cut the flap in the shape of the fabric design and it looks so cute, the photo isn't great and the lighting is awful today - sorry.

Here is the inside, pockets for my purse, mobile and wipes and a clip for my keys


I was chuffed to get it finished before we went to see Kym's baby, he is 6 weeks old now, babyebi was smitten and before anyone asks, NO babyebi won't be having a baby brother or sister!


I made a great bag for Kym but she made me promise not to blog about it but instead draw up a pattern, it took me such a long time to make the first one - basically because I hadn't a clue what I was doing and just a rough sketch to follow, maybe a second one would be easier, hmm would need lots more cutting out though :o(

SWAP notes - BillyBojenny, if you are still interested in the swap send me your details, I have another person to team you up with.

  2. Having one kid and being able to give them all of your attention is great. Don't feel pressured to have another! Of course, I say this from the standpoint of having two boys who drive me crazy. :) But I love them both anyway.
