When it comes to sewing, my sister is the one who started it all. About 15 years ago, we both had friends who were having babies, so we taught ourselves to sew in order to make them baby quilts. And now, every once in a while, we still get together to tackle some project or other. This summer, she said she wanted to make herself a new bag or purse to take on an upcoming vacation, so we decided to both make Amy Butler’s Blossom Bag . I had seen the free pattern at Sew, Mama, Sew! and had it on my “to do” li
I have always read about how complicated and intimidating some of Amy Butler’s patterns can be, but this honestly was not particularly difficult. It was of course very tedious given all the different layers of interfacing. After an initial fabric and supply shopping trip with my sister, I ended up making most of my bag by myself and didn’t run into any problems.
