I have sewed not one but two bags in the last two weeks. It does of course mean I am behind in my sewing goals for the year. But never fear, a Mathilde blouse is half finished on my sewing table. So keen am I to finish it, that I had 20 minutes to spare at about 6.45 am this morning (yes, 6.45am on a Sunday morning!!) so went and sewed before I headed out for my long run!
Anyway back to the bags. The first was a camera bag, the Paparrazi bag. I was a pattern tester for this new pattern from
Sew Sweetness. I am not a quilter but I love her bags.

Here is my version of her
Paparrazi bag. I love the fabric I chose, also love the pockets and inside there is a removable insert to make the inner sections as wide or as small as you need.
The second bad was a shopping bag for a friend ( a hostess gift).
I used a ripcord nylon for this and I think it turned out well. Who doesn't need to keep a shopping bag in their handbag! I used the Simplicity pattern
2806 and sewed view B. This is the
second bag I have done from this pattern and both have turned out well.
That looks like a great camera bag pattern! I may have to make that one sometime.
