Retro Girl Whimsy Bag

I finished my Whimsy bag on Friday.  This Lazy Girl Designs pattern is a lickey-split one to do.  What I would change for next time is to line the lining with either a medium weight interfacing or another piece of fusible fleece.  I feel the bag is too "soft".  Needs a bit more stability.  But for what I'm going to use it for, it's okay the way it is.


Are you enjoying your weekend?  I am so far.  Punkie and I had a "Girls Day" yesterday morning.  She has been wanting to get a pedicure so I took her yesterday and she got the works done.  She picked a blue sparkly polish and the man who did her pedicure gave her a cute design on her two big toes.  She loves it.  Then we hit the grocery store for some odds and ends, McDonald's for a quick lunch and then Jo-Anns to finish off our morning.  I got some embroidery floss in various shades of pink and green to work on my Birdie Stitches block for this month and I collected some greens for next month.  I'm anticipating a St. Patrick's Day themed bird.  I hope to have a completed embroidered block to show you by the end of this week.

My mom is on her way over to spend the day with us.  Punkie is excited to have her Babci visit.

Well, if you are one of the lucky ones (I'm not) to have tomorrow off, enjoy it!  I have to work and Amelia has school.  HOWEVER, they are predicting snow overnight so maybe she'll be home after all.


Enjoy your day!
Jen  :)

    Hi Jen.....the bag is cute! Boy, you really can whip those bags out in a hurry.
    It's fun to have a girls time out, especially when you're with someone you love.
    Take care.

    Cute bag...I know, last time I made it, I put an additional stabilizer on the lining.

    LOVE the bag. You are really calling on Spring to come early, with those gorgeous colours.

    Did you take a photo of Punkie's fancy, sparkly toes? My daughter got her first pedicure when she was about 11; I got mine when I was 30. haha.

    Great looking bag. I like the feel of a more firm sided bag. Thank you for sharing.
