Have you seen the new Amy Butler sewing patterns? I’ve been eager to purchase some of the new Midwest Modern prints (I'm quite proud of my restraint, really), and I adore this birdie sling. (A girl can never have too many bags, right?)
BUT, can I actually make the bag? I know how to use a pattern, but I’m not very good and usually give up half-way through a project--as you all know, I’m the queen of lazy sewing. So the dilemma is: Do I buy some fabric and the pattern in hopes of one day completing the bag? Or do I just wishfully think about it and focus on the more likely and practical projects at hand (e.g., chair makeover, vacation mini album, painting the kitchen, etc.).
Amy Butler Fabric and Patterns - drooool . . . My advice would be go ahead and buy the stuff - then you're one step closer to making the project. If you don't get around to making it, you can always sell/swap the pattern and use the gorgeous fabric for something else (chair makeover, vacation mini album, painting the kitchen - OK maybe not the last one, but you get the idea!).
