In Town Bag

To continue my weekend update - I went over to Sarah's house for a bit of sewing Saturday night.

I was able to give her some birthday goodies and she gave me the cutest box bag! I told her she wasn't supposed to give other people gifts on her birthday - but she wouldn't listen.

She knows I'm a sucker for Amy Butler fabrics - so she made the bag from several different ones.
I love it!

I just love the cute little dragonfly charm :)

Speaking of Amy Butler - I also brought over a pattern I got for the In Town bags. We both made the 'Smart Handbag' from Amy Butler's In Town bag line.

Inside I added lots of pockets for my stuff.

I also made yet another box bag from some fabric I got in Vegas. (what do you think Nic?)

I'll leave you with a cool photo of a lady out for a walk on one of my black eyed susans...

I just love those bags!!
I'm a pretty good knitter but I'm a lousy sewer. Which is wierd because my mom is just the opposite :)

I really like your pictures...what kind of camera do you use?

Those bags are adorable (wish I could sew, working on the knitting first, though.) And the ladybug pics...wow!! Did you plant your black-eyed susans recently? I haven't been able to find them anywhere (not at Cylburn, not at Walther Gardens, maybe there are some crappy ones at Lowes?) and they are the MD state flower.

Your Susans have buds?? Mine don't usually bloom until late July or August. What's your secret?
