Happy Birthday, Fumie!
I finished the Girly Bag as a gift for my sis-in-law on Thursday. It was a very quick knit. My main complaint was the lack of instructions for attaching the lining, handles and snap. Instructions for handles simply said to attach them. I put the snap further inside the bag, instead of on the hem and I basically made to straps of fabric for each handle to attach to the lining. Of course, the hem wouldn’t lay flat and I didn’t figure out how to fix that, but I decided it probably didn’t matter all that much. My favorite part was knitting that cute little flower. It was just fun to watch it take shape! 
I also loved the fabric I chose for the lining.

This is what I did yesterday afternoon. We bought all the fabric and supplies the day before. DD#1 started the day by asking when we could start on it. She wasn’t very happy with me when I said it would be sometime after lunch! Anyway, at some point I went downstairs for something and found this:
She was so excited to sew, she laid everything out very neatly on the sewing machine! It made me smile! When we’re done it will look like this:
After 3 hours of cutting ironing and sewing, it looked like this:
I might be busy for awhile….;)
