Something for you !

I got an email recently , asking about a bag I had published in a magazine a few years ago. The person had the pattern piece but no instructions....
I had almost forgotten this bag existed !
So I made a couple and wrote up some instructions


and on this foggy and freezing Saturday morning I thought its about high time I gave you guys a little present. If you pop on over to the sidebar, and if you already have a bit of tulle laying around your place (and access to a photocopier) you could have this bag finished in less time than it took me to get the bloody upload to work !

  2. Brilliant, Jodie - thank you for this. If I get myself going, it will be my Kiwi niece Olivia's 3rd birthday present - if I don't get myself going, it will be her fourth - or fifth - or .... Hope you are having a good weekend despite the crappy weather. I am still getting over my stinky cold so it's the couch, hot chocolate, books and telly this afternoon - it's not all bad!

  18. So this is what the well dressed ballerina carries! It's adorable, and how very cool that you're been in the pattern business so much longer than we all thought. There's that fame thing again. :>}

  21. Helloooooooo to you too Jod!

    I remember the pattern in the magazine sweetie - I have it in my "to do" folder!!! It's a lovely project, I hadn't realised it was you!! Are there any other magazine projects I've missed of yours?! I'm currently making the house of animals bag (soz if that's not the right name - my Rosie has nicked off with the photo coz she loves it so much... every 5 mins she's back saying "is it ready yet?" One cat made so far and fabrics chosen! Wonderfully-written pattern, Jod. :-)

    Hope you're having a great weekend... Monday tomorrow eh? Blah!

    Hugs!! Vikki xoxo

  30. These are so gorgeous. I would have made these for my girls in a flash for their ballet lessons but, alas, they are now too old and grungy for such lovely, girly bags. Drat! You are very generous, as usual, and I might make one for my little great niece because one must be made. x
