Made the Deadline, But...


I did make a bag, but just barely. Sorry for the terrible picture. I finished it last week; it was supposed to be the Amy Butler Rural Messenger bag, but I made so many modifications and had so many problems it turned out to be something quite different. I finished it because I liked the fabric and didn't want to waste it, and it holds stuff, so it accomplishes its purpose, I guess! It's basically a large basic totes with two outer pockets and a pockety flap. Anyway, I'm planning on making a couple of totes this month; I enjoyed making a bag, but I was disappointed in this pattern. And my sewing. But it's getting better -- I actually made another two skirts, more complicated than my first!
