Boutique Bag...

Remember the bag I told you Jan was working on? This is it! It's made using the gorgeous sunflower group from Clothworks. We were going to have a gold bow, then a red bow, but when the bag was done, the blue bow was the only way to go. Doesn't it just make the rest of the bag sing? One of our customers was telling us that she used one of the big leather buttons we have and made a closure that way. (The bag has a casing on the outside that the bow "slides" through.) We thought about doing it that way, but in the end the bow won out. The pattern we used is "Boutique Bag" by Bella Nonna. It actually comes in two sizes, but I haven't ever seen the smaller one made up....bet it would be equally fun. I'll try and get a picture of the nursing cover-up next to show you. It turned out really well and I think I've got the directions all written up so it can be recreated at your house if you so desire

So...how's your weekend? The sun was so inviting today that I took the old horse car on my errands with the top down! Then, I sat on the patio and read the Sunday paper. What a decadent lifestyle!! Now I'm doing the Sunday laundry, tidying and getting ready to send an e-mail update to all of you Fab-Etc'ers! I hope you too got a chance to relax a bit and enjoy the weather today. Happy Sunday from me to you!
