An Oldy But a Goody

Since I was pretty happy with my last bag project, I thought better go on and strike while the iron is hot.  I have been wanting to make myself something with the amazing Indian Summer fabric line by Sarah Watson.  I did start a quilt with it a while back and it is almost complete, but I wanted something that I could use on a more regular basis.  I seem to have gotten my  knitting mojo back so I thought that a new knitting project bag may be just the thing.

I decided to go with an older Amy Butler pattern that has been collecting dust in my obscenely large pattern stash.  (no seriously, I may actually need an intervention for this problem, but that is a whole other blog post) 

 

This print is one of my favorites.  All the animal faces make me so happy.

 I stuck pretty close to the pattern.  The things I changed were that I used Pellon fusible fleece for the main body of the bag because I wanted the bag to have more structure and then I only added one pocket to the inside instead of two like the pattern calls for.  I also decided to use a 3rd fabric for the handles to add a little of my favorite color.  :)

I think that this bag is pretty happy and my knitting will look quite happy in it.

Pretty good way to start off Selfish Sewing Week methinks.

Happy Saturday!
