AND ANOTHER ONE - becuase I know that you all have missed seeing my crafties

My house is a wreck, but I am really motivated to knock some projects off because there is some great fabric from a new designer named Lizzy Dish but I promised myself no more new fabric until I have some room to stash it! Or at least until I whittle it down a little.

I made this bag before. You can see it here. You'll have to scroll down about half way. It is the Birdie Sling by Amy Butler and it is super big and sturdy. This time I thought I would use lighter-than-recommended interfacing and the lining is lighter fabric, too. I also made it a smidge smaller.

Note to self, don't adjust patterns. I think the straps are too short for comfort. Update - while shopping on Saturday I noticed that a lot of purses are going with shorter straps and big bags under them so maybe this is just right after all. Sari declared it perfect and took it to her room.

When I found a turquoise zipper, I knew it was MEANT TO BE! So this bag even has a ZIPPERED POCKET!

  1. Wow, I'm the first to comment. Well we like the bag and the zipper makes it even better. How about a hidden zipper pocket?

    Love you.

  3. I love your bags, you are so crafty and talented! I especially love the owl fabric too, SO cute!

    If I was even a hint crafty I would make me a church bag for all that "stuff" that we seem to drag with us for Ian and Zoe... I try to jam it all in my purse and it never works!

  6. It must be the weather because I'm feeling all cozy and crafty too. I just want to sew stuff and figure out cute things to make with all my extra fabric. I'm going to have to check out the purse patterns. They're too cute and I can make mini-me ones for my mini-me.

  8. Cute bags. I leave projects like this to people who are crafty and have a need to do crafty things. I'm not one of them.
