I get it from my mom

My mom invited me down last Friday to make purses with her. I didn't actually touch the sewing machine, I just did a lot of cutting.  We used Amy Butler's Birdie Sling pattern and the bag is HUGE.  Somehow it seems smaller in this picture, but I swear I could slip Creed in there and use it to carry him around.
I already put to it good use hauling things to an enrichment meeting at church.  In this picture it's holding, a shoebox with two clay lanterns in it, a roll of painter's tape, scissors, my wallet, my cell phone, three spray bottles, six plastic tablecloths, a bag of 30 pens, two sets of keys, an apron, my camera, a jar of jam, and a pound of butter.  Seriously, that's a lot.

  2. Sa-weet! I just got this pattern, and accidentally got 3 yd. of the fusible fleece instead of the interfacing -- oops! I thought it would be a cute diaper bag for my sisters -- and me!

    this is funny timing, as my MIL just made me one of those bags! and it's GINORMOUS! and i have no one in diapers anymore, so I really don't carry around that much stuff. it was great for church, though!
