Three of my four girls have birthdays in a 3 week period this month, so I have lots of shopping and creating to do. Last year I made Erin
Amy Butler's Sophia Bag and the past 2 days I made her the Amy Butler Weekender Bag. We walk at our local rec center almost every night and tonight she said I really wanted that Weekender Bag last year for my birthday but you said it was too expensive to make. I said oh, sorry, I did say that and it is getting too late to make one for Christmas or your birthday, maybe next year. I am a tricky, sneaky mom and guess what I finished last night? Yes, her Weekender bag! Take a look:

Now she will have a complete set. So if you see Erin, sshhh don't tell her!
I am going to try to make two Sophia bags and two Weekender bags yet this month. Sophias for twin's birthdays and Weekenders for their Christmas.
I better get off this computer and go sew!
Won't see be surprised! It's a fabulous bag. Do you have any pointers on sewing the Weekender? What interfacing did you use? I've hearda lot of people complain that it was complicated and difficult to sew. I have the Weekender and the Sophia, both yet to be sewn.
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely gorgeous color combination! She will be thrilled, I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteWow that's a lot of December birthdays. Count me in, I on the 18th.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous bag and your daughter is going to love it. Curious... when they were younger did you celebrate their birthdays under one party?
ReplyDeleteOooh it's lovely! What a great gift!
ReplyDeleteI've had that pattern for awhile now, but have balked at making it since like GwenSews mentioned others have found it difficult. I'd be interested to hear how it went for you :-)
ReplyDeleteOh how lovely! She will be over the moon with that, especially as she thinks she isn't getting it yet! I think sometimes 'tricky and sneaky' can be acceptable when it comes to pressies! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cool bag...can't wait to start mine. I don' t know how you are making THREE! Did you ise decorator weight fabric?
