I made another sample bag for work, this pattern is McCall's M5598 and is designed by Kay Whitt. It comes in 3 sizes, I made the small one – which isn’t very small at all. It holds the essentials – phone, keys, tissues, comb, purse, pen & paper etc + it’s wide enough to fit a magazine. It has a groovy circular handle which means it can be carried as a handbag or worn as a shoulder bag.
I had a great day at work today, Yvonne brought in her newly completed kaleidoscope quilt, it looks Fabulous.
I also had a visit from Mr Whippet Good, who came in to buy some fabric for his lovely wife Bronwyn – he has earnt some MAJOR brownie points. He came bearing gifts from his dear wife too, some fantastic patterns – Thank You ever so much Bronwyn.
I am hoping to get to the Craft and Quilt Fair this Friday, it’s great to visit, shop and catch up with the interstate craft retailers.
With Love
PS 23 sleeps to go….

My local Textile Traders has sold out of all my favourite AB fabrics...they must've been popular! Your library looks like it's a treasure trove of good crafty books. I am going to the Craft Show on Friday too...I'll keep an eye out for you ;) (you DO look like your photo, don't you? LOL)
Love your latest bag Janelle! The clever handle design makes it really versatile. Enjoy the Fair on Friday!

Hello Janelle,
Lots of lovely sewing here. You TT girls certainly are talented. Enjoy yourself at the craft fair. Make sure you show us your purchases. Have fun.
Your library has such great books! I went to mine last week to see if they had some inspirational sewing books.... all about 20 years old I think! Really dated and not that exciting!
