Happy as a Daisy

Amy Butler's Daisy Chain (daisy bouquet / indigo) and the handles are Happy by Jennifer Heynen

The bag was FMQ in stippling and the inside is lined with muslin and  I used a combination of Heirloom batting and Warm and White pieced together from many,many scraps:)  There is a zipper in light blue on top and a side, pleated pocket with a dark blue zipper added.

Overall, a few adjustments were made here and there or rather some minor fudging going on, BUT I LOVE THE RESULT!!!  I learned more about zippers, how to add a pleated pocket and all about adding straps to a bag.  OOH and how could I forget, I learned about reading a pattern more successfully. This bag took me 10hrs and so over a span of 3 days I created something versatile and quite pretty. That makes me smile and truly love sewing.

I had worried that this bag wouldn't be done in time for my bible study Spring Retreat on the 28th.  I really amaze myself sometimes ya know:) 

Take care ya'll,

Sara
