Lunch Bag

Working life is not leaving me much time to enjoy doing things that make me disconnect, such as sewing. I finished my first lunch bag a while ago, but as I was not happy with the cord I had I did not post the pics before. Yesterday, I got up early and went to the centre to my favourite supplier shop and got a nice cord for it.  I also got some towelling to make some hooded towels and bibs for 3 three newborn girls, who are welcoming the world next month.
It is a pleasure to follow Pink Penguin's tutorials: the outcome is always gratifying.

Working on a new bag

I have already used Pink Penguin fabric bag tutorial a few times (click here, here, here or here), but it is the first time I am using the lunch bag tutorial. If you have not used any of her tutorials yet, I do recomend you to do it, including those amateur seamstress around the blogosphere, like me. They have plenty of great pictures that guide you gently through the process. The problem I found was that I am not familiar with inches (and my tape measure either), but I use an on-line inch-cm converter and piece of cake!
Ayumi also uses a lovely rich range of fabrics. My fabric stash is quite limited, so I am just going to use a three fabric convination.

The outcome in the next few days.
