I've been wanting to try the Buttercup pattern for ages. I thought I might give it a go for the Goodie Bag Swap, but I ended up going in a different direction.
Then, my friend Jenny said she was headed to Seattle for a month-long course, and I thought that was perfect excuse to make her a gift.
Of course, she's already left, and is only two weeks from returning. I finished Saturday and gave it to her husband (also my dear friend), and now she'll have a gift when she returns.
Timing doesn't always cooperate with intentions, does it?
I knew Jenny would love the Ruby Star Rising View Finder fabric, and Michael Miller's love birds just called out to be used. This bag came together in just a few hours. There is a tiny bit of curve sewing, so be prepared for that!
Also, there are two options to obtain the pattern. You can download it for free (this is what I did), or you can purchase the pattern with two sizes, and a license to sell your finished bags.
That turned out great! I love it. Great fabrics, very fun.
ReplyDeletewow, what an awesome fabric choice!! Great job.
ReplyDeleteThe fabric is so very cute. And the bag is great! This will be a great gift.
ReplyDeleteOMG so totally cute! I'm moving in a few weeks and my sewing machine is already packed away, but after I pull it out I'm going to use it. I swear! This will be the summer I learn how to sew!
ReplyDeleteit looks beautiful! i almost bought that viewmaster fabric this morning. i'm resisting but you're not making it easier. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat bag! And I love the collection of prints. How beginner-friendly is the project?
ReplyDeletewow! such a great shape and this fabric is perfect for accentuating it. congrats on a lovely bag!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that! And I'm in desperate need of a new bag - definitely downloading the pattern right now!
ReplyDelete"Timing doesn't always cooperate with intentions, does it?"
ReplyDeleteAlmost never! LOL. You're such a sweet friend for finishing it for her anyway. If it was me I'd probably have lost steam on it and it would have ended up in a works in progress box. :P
I love that viewfinders fabric . . . I've got to get my hands on some!
Love this! I'm just working on one now for a gift, I hope mine turns out as nice!
