Usually when the mood strikes me I don't ignore it....regardless of what time of day or night it is!I get right to it before it passes me by!!
I've had this pattern a little while and have been very anxious to see if I could make it work! I thought is was a little pricey...but, you get the handle with it and the pattern is like a nice little booklet.
So....I got right to picking out some fabric and cut out the front and back pieces you see here.
.......Oh....but why not try something a little different. I usually have different ideas than the original pattern......YES.....I'M USING A PATTERN.......so, I spliced once and then twice!.. No point in just being 'ordinary'...right???
Don't you just love it when the polka dots and ric rack show up to help you out with those vacant areas..!!.

A little larger polka dot bullied it's way into the inside of this little number and then invited some plaid to come cozy up and be the pockets.

A view of the back.
And I found this little note laying beside my cute little bag this morning!! Aaaauuugh....Thank
You Mr. Brown Dirt.....you just made my day!! ( the bag is not for sale....that is just a phrase he uses when he really likes something)
