Quite pleased...

...with my first proper attempt at making a bag:

Real arty...

It's not bad, is it?!

The only baglike thing I've tried before were two big shoppers. One for myself (I use it daily) and one for my sister-in-law. This one:

Bag

I made the pattern of this bag up and I'm rather happy with it. For a future bag I would try to do it a little different, but not much :)
While I was sewing I noticed that the fabric was in fact quite beautiful (it was thrifted... ooh I'm proud of myself!).
















Amber ordered (demanded) two bags for herself, so I suppose those will be next on my to do-list!















Oh, and I received my order of postcards last week. They were supposed to be "free", but I had to pay almost 25 euros for them. Still, now I have 100!

My postcards arrived today

*Blogger is being a pain, so I'll add the other photos later!*
Edit: Blogger is in a good mood today (almost weekend), so I've added some more photos!

Love both your bags, I hope you have a nice occasion planned now to use your new one. where did you get your 'free' postcards from? I am getting emails almost daily from vistaprint for free cards, but they charge postage so it would probably cost about the same as you paid, I have been toying with the idea. yours look lovely, I like the sunshine on them.

Way to go on your first bag--complete with a pleat!!! It looks great. And so do your lovely postcards. That's a great idea.
