The Amy Butler Weekender Bag.





I've always been intrigued by this pattern, but scared to try it
So much interfacting! So much piping!

So when my mom said that she had a friend that had a bag pattern she wanted me to make for her, I just KNEW this was going to be it. And it was. But at that point I couldn't say no.

Like all Amy Butler projects, when I was making it I vowed never again.
But the second it was finished I knew I'd make it again; it turns out SO nice!

She gave me more fabric than I needed to make the bag, so out of the orange I made a zippered pouch to go inside the bag as well as a flower pin.

Note to self in future or anyone else attempting this bag: When sewing the piping on initially, leave plenty of space between the seam and the actual cording. When the pieces get sewed together later, you'll need that space so the seams don't show on the piping. (I didn't have to rip out too many seams to fix this, but knowing it will save me time in the future.)

Business card holder.




I made this almost entirely by accident, and had to do some quick thinking when it turned out way too deep for business cards. But a well-placed snap solved the problem, and now it's perfect.

More wallets.



The pink and gray one is maybe my favorite of all time.

Fabric fortune cookies.



These are a great way to use up fabric scraps, as well as good practice putting on snaps!

I know they'd have been cuter in a Chinese take-out container...

Small dragonfly bag.


This bag is cute. I'd forgotten I'd even made it until I was looking for some other pictures.

I can't believe I didn't realize when I bought this fabric that it was dragonflies! I don't like dragonflies.
