niagara is a heavy weight day

hello! it's freaking November.

dear amy butler,
while i appreciate you're enthusiasm for creating purse patterns that the everygirl is capable of creating, i'd ask you this. why the basting? please! fusible interfacing is amazing. especially when calling for heavy weight fabrics.
and the zippers are incredibly annoying and labor intensive, however i am enjoying the outcomes after all.

here's my day in niagara at Patchwork Porch with kim. Lots o' swearing, sewing and general good times. my amy butler bag turned out a-ok and i'm stoked that it only took 9 hours to complete.




this is the back... zipper pocket


inside! note the zippered and tool pockets!


front flap= another zippered pocket!



my pain during the day...


this was kim's amazing bag...
