Weekender Weekend

I started an Amy Butler Weekender Bag this weekend. I had forgotten what a pain this bag is to make. Actually, it really is not that bad…until you go to sew it together. There is just no easy way to do it. I wish I could figure out a way to do it without having to wrestle with it, but I don’t see a way. It came out okay, but I think if you really look at the bag closely you will see where the corners are a struggle. I have to put the lining in. That will have to wait for another day. 

New Bag

With some time to work on my own projects, I finally got to make a new bag. I have been wanting to make the Cosmo Bag from Amy Bulter’s new book since I got the book this summer. I had picked out some fun summer fabric to make it in, but now that winter is approaching I decided to use some Anna Maria Horner Velveteen. I love the way it turned out. It is a big bag, but with all the diapers and bottles I have to tote around it is a perfect size for me.
