I finally got round to finishing the bag that was supposed to be a birthday present for Amber (her birthday was in June). It will be her ballet bag; I'm so pleased that I will finally be able to throw away her ratty old Barbie bag!
I used Beki's Short & Sassy pattern that she so kindly send me ages ago... thanks again, Beki!
I think that it turned out really nice. Sweet and girly... Amber gave it her stamp of approval ;) Doesn't it match up so well with the patchwork cushion that was a recent present from oma to Amber? The lucky girl is showered in handmade love!
My favourite bit is this pocket on the inside, which I can take no credit for since it already existed. The reason is that the purple fabric used to be a summer dress in a former life.
From dress to bag... not a bad life for this piece of fabric!
What a clever idea!
I love the bag - I'm sure Amber will love using it. I haven't sewn for a long time :( Study has taken over but when I see this bag, I feel like getting behind my machine again!!!
