Bag Love

Sew Mama Sew posted a cute Amy Butler bag on their blog a few weeks ago.  Not sure how I missed it, but I found it a couple days ago.  I finished it up last night and today - it's fantastic!  It's on it's way to be a donation in a Silent Auction to raise funds for a terrific community group I am a member of. I highly recommend this pattern - it's super cute, trendy, fun, functional.  As with all of Amy's bags, it uses a enormous amount of interfacing, but it's worth it.  Exterior is leftover upholstery weight from my living room, lining is my coveted Sis Boom animal print.   Enjoy!

Raining pink and cute

Seriously dying over how super cute this raincoat came out. Still mildly obsessed with the laminated cotton. The girl totally needed the raincoat today with very heavy downpours coming down at bus time! Good timing Mom!

Made the pattern myself and only have 1 change I'd like to make - love the foldover sleeve action, but they are about 1 inch too long - just too bulky - so that's fixed on my pattern and we are ready for another!

The outside is from Amy Butler's Love collection and the lining is super awesome Jennifer Paganelli's line - Matt's Tux. love the color coordinating action between the two.

The was probably completed in a couple hours - it was super simple, lined, a bit of elastic in the hood and a zipper. A bit of topstitching and wa-la. Love it! So does the girl.
