My first "official" re-pin!

OK, so with Kristin on vacation, I had decided to post my first re-pin as a craft item. I have made the Buttercup Bag by made by RAE. Her version consists of a pocket on the inside and decorative buttons on the outside. Mine, however, is very basic with no pocket and no decorations on the outside. I wanted to see if I could actually do the whole project all by myself (without the help of my sewing instructor)! And by golly, what do ya know... I DID IT!
I honestly made this cute little bag after work yesterday. Seriously, START to FINISH! I was and still am so proud of myself! It was fairly simple to make as well. The pattern is a free download from made by RAE. It uses just a fat quarter (plus a little extra for the lining). I didn't use a fat quarter, I just bought a half yard of the outer fabric, so I had some extra and the lining was just some remnants I had sitting around. Next time I will try it with a heavier fabric or put some fusible interfacing on it, especially in the handle. This was definitely a fun project and I'm excited to be able to share it with whoever is reading this! Until next time, happy pinning!
