I FOUND MY CAMERA!! And I found my Ben Folds' Songs For Silverman CD as well. So things are obviously looking up. Funny how it was lost till I blogged about it and within 24 hours found both items. (Thank you blog fairies).
And a big thank to everyone who emailed and commented on my last post giving me ideas on what to write about!! I now have a list and will steadily go through them. The weather's cooler so I'll probably be in a better mood to write regularly.
Anyway,in my last post, I told you that I had made a matching tote to go with my overnight bag. Here it is!
I used a pattern for this one (first time to do a bag pattern!) - the Amy Butler Sweet Harmony. It was a little hard to follow so I'm glad I didn't attempt this as one of my beginner projects. Also I couldn't find any fusible fleece anywhere so I did it the old fashioned way using just normal fleece. I also didn't use interfacing...though now that I think about it, I should have at least put some on the bottom of the bag.
Oh as you know the fabric was an op shopped curtain and the lining was fabric given to me by the lovely and talented Bec who was decluttering her fabric stash. THANK YOU Bec!
Still all in all, I'm quite happy with it. I have to admit, I felt a bit spesh carrying my luggage around in Sydney last weekend.
I wish you all a good weekend ahead!

Gorgeous!
Love that fabric!
There is someone in town here who makes bags out of recycled fabric. It is so wonderful to see this in a small town.
Nice! I've just started making bags as well. Such a fun thing to do. Love the material - looks adorable.
And I'll bet there were plenty of people in the airpost asking under their breath, 'Where did she get those from - How cute!!!'
Oh gorgeous!
I love that fabric, so very cute.
I'm glad the blog faries helped you, they can be so nice. Looking forward to you using your new found bojo :o)
HOW CUTE!! Love that shade of green, so fresh and modern. I wish I could follow patterns, lol. Maybe one of these days I'll sit down and learn.
Nice!How was Sydney?
How fun. Well done!
Interfacing is a hard one - it's expensive and obviously needs to be bought new, but it really makes things durable as well as professional-looking.
I love the spruced-up blog look by the way.
