I am so excited! Sometime over the weekend I hit 50 followers, and in my mind I had decided that I would do a giveaway when this happened. So stay-tuned later this week for my first ever giveaway, I just need to whip something up.
This past week I have been busy sewing. My daughter wanted a bag for church to carry her Young Women's binder in. So I started scouring blogworld to see if I could find something that would work. These are the result. I just love how each turned out. I found the pattern here. It has 6 pockets, 3 on each side between the two layers of fabric.
This is the first one I made following the pattern exactly. Finished size is 8Hx10Wx4D. Then I added the little flower. Tutorial for the flower here.
This one is my daughter's, I enlarge to fit my her binder. Finished size is 11Hx13Wx4D.
I got a little smarted as I went along. This one has added pockets on the inside.
And this one I just finished. I used the original dimensions, but I tapered the top piece to look more like a purse. I again added pockets on the inside, I also made the straps as long as the bigger bags. That way it can be worn on the shoulder. The original patterns straps were a little short for my liking. Now I just need to decide what I want to use as a closure for the purse.

Super easy, and fun fun pattern.
