Ta-dah!!!!!!

Okay - so I've re-drawn and re-cut this pattern four times, really patiently and calmly (oh yeah!!!), then I forced myself to pin it first, realised that if I'd sewn it that way, then I would have been unpicking it!! Then felt really pleased with myself for pinning first!

But finally, I pulled it the right way round (I love that moment, like pulling a rabbit out of a hat!) and ta-dah!! It works!

Not only that, I'm happy with the size, the shape and the details. In fact, I've already thought of a way of adding another little detail. So what do you think?

The 'Juliet' bag.

I've trimmed with my favourite velvet, cos you need a little luxury.

It has two pockets, one outside, one inside and a nice wide-ish strap so it's comfy on your shoulder. And of course, it's vintage, end of roll fabric.

with a little bit of Anna Maria inside. Will be in my shop a little later, if you can't live without it!!!

Today, I'm off to make another one! while I'm on a roll!! In amongst collecting Son 2 from his maths exam, and watching Daughter in a cricket tournament, and buying my Dad a birthday present! Hope you can squeeze in some crafting! xx
