A while back I posted about how I found this "lost" project. I had purchased everything I needed a few years ago and somehow totally forgot about it! With Sara hosting Purse Palooza it was the perfect time to finally get it done.
The pattern is Amy Butler Sweet Harmony Handbag and Tote. I chose to make the handbag. It's made out of Amy Butler Love which is one of my all time favorite lines. My favorite quilt ever that I've made is done with these fabrics. I didn't realize you can still purchase the whole line here. I may have to contain myself!!
As usual with an Amy Butler pattern, the results are a very professional bag. But also as usual, you need to read the directions carefully. I had the bag almost finished before i realized I forgot to add the outer pockets!
The bag gives you the option to do zippers or pockets on the inside. with such small pockets I just did open pockets.
Now I just need to get my kids out of diapers so I can carry a small bag again!
I'm entering this bag in Purse Palooza 2012. And Ellison Lane's Summer Sewing Contest.

Oh wow, I've never seen the use of 2 snaps before...but definitely better than things falling out. =)
You did a lovely job.
It is wonderful, Becky!
Nice bag. I love that fabric.
What a fabulous bag, it looks so professional. My kids are now almost out of nappies, hooray for smaller bags!
So, this is the bag you were talking about! It's so cute!
I love it! Someone shared Amy Butler's The Everything Bag during Talkin' Tuesdays last night, and I think it would make the greatest craft bag ever!. This one looks awesome, too. See, diaper bags don't become useless, they become craft bags ;-)
amy strikes again! i am loving how this looks and so glad you caught that before it was too late! ;) the fabrics are beautiful and as always it looks perfect! xo
Very cute! Think it might take a while for #2 to reach potty training though ;o)
so cute! good luck!!
this came out great! love the fabric as well--I just finished my bag a little while ago and will photograph & post tomorrow, hope you will check it out on my blog!
Gorgeous bag! Amy Butler does excellent bag patterns, doesn't she!
But your choice of fabrics is lovely,too.
Great job and love the fabrics you chose! It looks like a really fun project.
