I made my second Buttercup Bag recently. My first was last spring right after Rae released her pattern. That first one was for me but this one is for my only non blogging crafty friend. She lives right in town. Imagine that! She mentioned this bag to me awhile back and said that she liked the pattern. She hadn't gotten around to making one for herself yet and I know she has three pairs of pants to make for her little girl and a tunic for herself and some place mats too. You know how it is! So, I felt that it was safe to make one for her. Last fall, while visiting, she spotted the fat quarter that I used for the lining and said "Oh, that would make such a cute bag lining." I made a mental note and used it for her. Of course, she didn't remember!
When she opened the gift bag she said "A Buttercup Bag!" like only another crafter could.
Happy Birthday Alyson!
I can't beleive I haven't made this bag yet:) I love yours!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun to make gifts for friends?? Especially when you know they'll like it!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice friend! It's so fun to give away the things that we create! I love the bag!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful gift. It's beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI have been meaning to make that bag for some time now! Love the lining fabric you have used - a lovely gift!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of you! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI've seen the pattern before, but wasn't sure if I liked it, and after time passed I forgot about it.....now seeing the purse you made, I clicked on the link and downloaded it immedimently! Thanks for the great inspiration!
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful one! Very special. I am sure she will treasure it.
ReplyDeleteIt is a perfect lining!! Beautiful job. I love this pattern. I think I've made about 12 now (but only kept 2). I must say, they are very popular items at silent auction fundraisers for school!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely, but why is it called a buttercup bag? I agree with your friend, the lining is so nice.
ReplyDeleteI love the subtle outside and the 'wow' inside -- very classy.
ReplyDeleteoh, the joy of craft friends! you did a great job with this bag. it's so pretty and fun.
