This past year I did a number of projects that I was unable to share as I had to wait until they were published. Well, the wait is over, at least for one project! I'm very excited to share with you the bag that I made using the Amy Butler Beautiful Belle Pattern. This bag kicks off a new feature that I will be writing for Sew News entitled, Sew and Tell.
When I initially saw the pattern, I thought it was nice, but just a big slouchy type of bag.
Once I got into the project, I LOVED the bag.
In the article I wrote, I talk about the bag and all the possibilities there are to customize it. Don't let the outside of the bag fool you, as the inside holds lots of secrets!!!!
Sew News will kick off this new series with a wonderful give away. You'll have a chance to win not only the pattern, but the Amy Butler fabric as well. What a fabulous give away!!!! Be sure to check out the Sew News blog TODAY so you can throw your name in for your chance to win the pattern and fabric. Here's a link to the blog, http://www.sewnews.com/blogs/sewing/

I'm really excited about this opportunity to sew along with you, a little nervous too!!! Actually, a LOT nervous :) If you enjoy the first sew along, there will be more throughout the year. I can't wait to share with you the upcoming projects. There will be a new project in each issue this year. I had a great time discovering new patterns and I hope you'll enjoy making them as much as I did.
