I have made booties for the latest arrival, Isobel. Actually I have only made one bootie... must make the other one. Isobel was bornon Thursday to my ex-work colleague Tracey who now lives in Melbourne, Australia. Congrats Trace!
Isn't it cute? The pattern is free from Saartje. If green and orange seems a strange choice, it matches the sleep suits I bought! I'm making an amigurumi butterfly to go with it too... or at least that is what it looks like in my head. Photos in the next post.I have also made this bag for another person born on 9th August. Happy Birthday Non!
I'm seeing Non tomorrow. I am hoping she is too busy with Christening arrangements to read here before she receives this present! The pattern is adapted from "Bend the Rules Sewing" by Amy Karol. I added some wadding to the straps and made them the same length so I could add a button and button loop. Not bad for a second attempt at bag making!Here is the first . Made using the free pattern at U-Handbag.com. I got a bit muddled with sewing everything together inside out and then turning it the right way. I'd sewn the handles in wrong so they were always inside the bag. Ooops. I managed to rectify this however and now I have a fab new tote bag.
I will leave you with photos of the fireworks from the Proms night at Shugborough Hall last Saturday.

Your bags are great. I have still to make my attempt at bags! the booties are cute and the shawl looks beautiful.
I love the bags! Gives me the urge to get out my Sewing machine, maybe when the weather's a bit cooler.
The baby the booties are for - not formerly Tracey K perchance? They do look seriously cute!
