The Buttercup Bag completed

In my last post I talked about how I had started on the Buttercup Bag, the pattern for which can be found on Made by Rae's blog.  Well, thanks to a change in family plans, I got to spend all of Saturday sewing.  I manged to finish the bag and I'm really pleased with it!

There are still a few issues with the finished bag, that seam at the top is still a little wonky, but the button bit covers the worst of the sins.  I had to make that part longer than the 3" suggested as my buttons were quite big.

It's a little bit wobbly and a bit wonky as it's hand sewn on and I was trying to make it invisible, but hey! it's handmade, what can you expect!

Here's a back view and below is the inside view.

I bought some little silver "handmade with love" charms and I want to add them to handmade items - where relevant of course, not on a scarf or a baby blanket, but definitely on a bag.  I attached it to the handmade pocket.

I made something else too, but I'm saving that for its own post later in the week.

In other news, I've won two giveaways recently!  First I won some lovely bug fabric over at Follow the White Bunny, then I only went and won an Amy Butler bag pattern and 2 half yards of fabric from Kite & String.  Thanks so much girls, I'm absolutely chuffed and can't wait to get my goodies, I'm definitely in the mood to make another bag!
