Before our trip, I knew I needed a new bag to hold all of my stuff. I love the birdie sling bag (designed by Amy Butler) because it has a great shape, it holds a LOT of stuff, and it’s pretty easy to put together! (Also– it’s larger in person than it looks in the photos I have. Click on the pattern link above to see some pics of it being modeled to get a better sense of the size).
I paired together a print from Innocent Crush (for the body of the bag) with one from Hope Valley (for the handles), and I can’t believe how well the colors work together! I’ve found that Hope Valley plays well with lots of other prints (I used a bunch of Hope Valley along with Castle Peeps to make this quilt).
I’ve already gotten a lot of use out of this bag, and I think I’ll be using it for a long time!
Love it! And those fabrics are a perfect pair!
Pretty! I love my birdie sling bags, they hold so much, I just keep wanting to sew more.
i need to make myself one of these. i made one for my sister and she loves it. it is a great bag an i LOVE your color combinations! perfection!
Gorgeous! I’m a one-bag gal but seeing all these lovely bags is making me wonder if I shouldn’t make an effort to change it up a bit!
So fun! I love having a big bag that I can toss everything in – my current bag makes me pare things down a bit, which is good too, but I should totally make myself a big one for when I need it!
Cute, cute, cute! And those fabrics go great together!
Love the bag! i can’t believe how well those fabrics go together. I have made one of those bags and you are right, it is so much larger than expected
[...] that I love Hope Valley. I have used it in quite a few projects… like this, and this, and this, and this, just to name a few! One thing I love about this line is how gorgeous the colors look [...]
