Finally FInished Week 5

My Carry All Bag was beginning to look like it might end up in the Work in Progress tub but I'm happy to say that it's Finally Finished.  It really didn't take me long to make once I sat down and didn't let anything get in the way.  I made a decision to make it reversible so I could have 2 bags in one!

I chose the red and blue fabric from my stash to begin with, I'm very happy with how it looks.

Then for the reversible inside of the bag.  I used a recyled denim skirt and some cute lady bird fabric from my stash.  I really like how this one looks to! So turn it inside out and this is another bag!

I used it today filled with all the necessities, food and drink, phone, money, key, nappies and more food.

The pattern was designed by Nicole Mallalieu

Bags Bags Bags!

I've been carrying my poor old falling apart bag for a while now, debating on whether I was going to buy one or make my own. I am very happy to have found an Australian Bag designer - Nicole Mallalieu

Looking at her bag pattern range I knew the decision to choose one would be difficult.  I had to decide which pattern would be best suited to my needs.  It's got to be spacious enough to hold my stuff and everyone elses stuff, drink bottles, food, phone, I Pods, toys and Nappies.  I would love to carry a cute little Hobo or Slouch bag but I don't think it will hold all the stuff. 

Appropriately I had to choose the Carry All Pattern

Now my next dilema is my fabric choices.  So many beautiful ones to choose from.  I'll keep you posted on what I decide.
