Something for me

Back in February last year I found out I was going to get promoted at work (yippee!) so I treated myself to the new Amy Butler bag book and some lovely Amy Butler prints to get me started.  Full of enthuisam I cut out my fabric and interfacing ready for the fun bit of sewing it all up.  Then I found out I was pregnant, a whole load of other things took over and the cut out pieces spent the next ten months or so on my sewing table :(

Once the Little Monster was here and all my windows had curtains the right length (they had been hanging pinned up for about 2.5 years!) I finally got round to finishing my bag.  I've made quite a few bags but this is the first 'good' one I've made for myself - a recycled jeans gym (now toy) bag definitely doesn't count.

I really like this bag :), Its a decent size and was very straight forward to put together; I've made a couple of Amy Butler's patterns before and they are lovely to follow.  When I'm not lumbering around with my enormous changing bag, this has been my bag of choice in recent weeks.
