She was beautiful. I lovingly created her pattern myself, from scratch. I ordered some special fabrics online. I quilted the bottom of the front & back and made my first attempt at adding piping. She did lay listlessly in my "to finish" pile for some time, but once I got my new machine, she was one of the things to get finished first. I was saving her for summer. She would be perfect for a trip to the beach or the park. I hung her in my closet. Then.....I got impatient. I thought using her now would lift my spirits. I packed her up carefully for a trip to my in-laws house. That would be the first and last time I would use her.My SIL: Wow! Nice bag!
Me: Thanks ;>)
SIL: Can I buy a bag from you like that? I'll give you $20.
Me: You mean, a bag like this one or this one?
SIL: No. That one.
Me: Um....ok.
So, I unpacked her & I'll hopefully see her now & again when I come to visit. Here she was:
P.S. Thanks to my summery bag, I have an order for another one in different fabrics from one of hubby's cousins!

Very cute, and i know you'll miss her but I bet you won't regret the money ;0)
Me too!!!! I want one!!! I would love one in the Micheal Miller's Eiffel Tower Print!!! Seriously...I think that would be a great size for a diaper bag and I need a new one!
Hey, I think you might be interested in viewing my blog :-)
Very cute!!
Way too complicated for me! Got an easier bag to recommend for me to make? I was thinking of making a diaper bag for my sister (see my blog) for her baby gift. Any simple suggestions?
Thanks ya'll!
Peaceful: Nope. Not regretting the money ;>)
Erin: I would make you one in your desired print for $20.
Jeanette: I'll be posting about what I read on your blog!!
Steph: I think you just need a little encouragement. I have 2 diaper bag patterns that I purchased that you can look at. Or, I can give you some *simple* suggestions when we come for dinner ;>)
