So while I was on an enforced, involuntary internet sabbatical, I caught up on a few projects, not just knitting.
There’s always a sewing project laying around waiting for my attention. Or five.
Emily asked me a year or so ago to make her an Amy Butler handbag. Specifically, the “Smart Handbag” from In Town Bags. And she wanted it in the exact same fabrics as the pattern. So, dutiful mother that I am, off I went and bought the fabrics, (duck egg/french wallpaper and pink/coriander, both from the Belle collection) and then I put it aside. And promptly forgot all about it.
Then I found it again early last week. And I kicked myself, because it really was easy and quick to put together.
It even has little pockets on the inside. And I put a magnetic clasp in it, too.
I just wish I’d gotten a photo of her face when she realised that I’d finally made it for her.
I did however, get a picture of my two favourite girls together. Yes, it’s a long overdue Twinkie picture.
And yes, she’s still voluptuous!
Yay! You’re back! 🙂 Your entrelac socks are great! I love the handbag. 🙂
You are so fortunate to be able to sew so well! I love the bag and material you used.
Twinkie doesn’t quite look like a dog….maybe a large rabbit? She’s adorable and looks so cuddly!
Oh I love that bag! Lucky girl
Now will she use the bag or will it become a decoration on the bedroom floor? Perhaps both? LOL
Great bag! (well, except for the pink, but you know, since it’s not for me that’s ok!!!).
Twinkie looks entirely disapproving, as if to say “this is a most undignified manner in which to be photographed, Emily! People can see my…you know!”
Love the bag. Your girls are adorable.
Thanks for the comment on my Selbu Modern, it was a fun knit.
I love that fabric and the bag is so cute!! Now I wish my Mum is here with me all the time so that I can request her to make stuff for me!! Hahaha. Emily is a really lucky girl 🙂 Love the photo of her and Twinkie together. Twinkie looks sooooo cuddly 🙂
That is an adorable bag!
Poor Twinkie – she doesn’t look too happy..but it is a great picture!
fantastic little bag, great fabrics! and are you sure thats a rabbit and not some kind of teddy-bear cross?!
Just the sort of project I like: one that seemed hard but is not, and is a joy to make!! Very nice photo, but I’m wondering if Twinkie was really ready for her close up??!!
You’re back!
What a beautiful, very professional looking bag! I’m sure Em will get quite a bit of use out of it.
And Twinkie… if ever there was an indignant looking rabbit… Gorgeous photos of all though! 🙂
That is a brilliant bag – I just wish I had someone to spoil me the way you spoil Em!
Personally, I’d describe Twinkie as “zaftig” because of the fluffiness 🙂
Wow. You’re awesome!
What a gorgeous bag! I really must learn how to sew, so inspiring to see lovely projects like this.
Tickles to Twinkie!
The bag is lovely & I love your entrelac socks. I have been wanting to knit entrelac but everytime I knit of picking up stitches, I decided not to do it.
