Goodie Bag swap recieved !

I have been drooling at all the gorgeous bags made over at flickr in the 'Goodie Bag swap' and admiring all the talented people out there and there amazing bags. While I would of loved to received any of them I was secretly wanting a particular red/aqua combination made in the gorgeous Amy butler Cosmo bag pattern.

And guess what arrived in the mail today from the lovely traceyjay.....
Just the right size to put wallet, nappy , keys, phone and a million other things that you need for a 2 year old and a newborn !

Pockets on the inside are handy as well and I am loving the Riley Blake sugar and spice fabric in aqua used as the lining !

Tracey also sent a delicious array of scraps featuring my favourite colours - so lucky, so thanks heaps Tracey !

Goodie Bag Swap - sneak peek

I have had all my pieces cut out and half sewn for the 'Goodie Bag Swap' for like 3 weeks .... but lost my sewing mojo a bit. It was a combination of insomnia and feeling like a right off and following Amy butlers ' Cosmo bag' pattern and having to interface EVERY single piece !! Also because my ironing board is in another room, and moving hurts these days I have not picked it up for a few weeks !!

My excuse - 38 weeks pregnant, still have morning sickness, nothing fits and feeling sooooo uncomfortable that sitting hurts !!

Anyway this is the fabric I have used for my bag:

My partner requested something bright, bold and modern and likes pinks, greens and reds. Hope this fits the bill.
So............ I just need to sew the 2 exterior panels together and do the interior.

I better get a wriggle on as posting is nearing very soon and I think this baby will be here before we know it !

Goodie bag swap

I have joined another swap... yes I can't help myself. As the name suggests this one is to swap bags and I LOVE bags !!! Plus it gave me an excuse to buy this book:


I have had my eye on this one for a while and am in LOVE with the bag on the front called a 'Cosmo Bag'. Over at flickr there are a ton of these bags made up. See here.

I think some of my favourites are these ones that use bright, bold colours.

Off to stalk my partner and work out what to make for her !
