I found this fabric and fell in love with it and bought it, I have had it for a while trying to find a project for it, I think this bag did it justice, as did the gorgeous Peony from Embroidery library. Its my first bag. My daughter likes it so much she wants one too, I told I would make her one on the condition we didnt go out together with them, she thought that was hilarious, and would make every effort to have the same bag at the same time. Kids what can you do with them!

Thankyou, I had to share the photo I was so happy with it. I have bought a similar fabric in pink to try again, I think I'm a glutton for punishment, dont you? LOL T

It just sort of fell together Tippi, I bought the bag pattern about 2 years because it was called "Gracie", my gr andaughter was born 16 weeks premmie at 23 weeks 6 days, her name is Grace, I was browsing the net one night not long after she was born, I couldnt sleep, we were living through her being in NICU and taking every thing one day at a time. I came across the pattern and had to buy it. I put it away until I saw this fabric the other day on sale. I remembered buying the peony earlier when I got some happy hour points from Embroidery Library, after I got home with the fabric, and it fitted. Was meant to be, Thankyou Ruth
