I worked on a bag for buddy's first grade teacher. I just loved how it came out. It is Marcus fabrics for those of you fabric-holics out there. And the pattern is Whimsy Bag by Lazy Girl Designs for all of you pattern junkies!!!
I also finished a set of 3 pouches, again another pattern by Lazy Girl Designs, for another Christmas present. The fabric is Amy Butler.
I felt like I had a really productive day. Aren't those the best kind? What has been keeping you busy?
