Our friend Em was 21 this week and last night we went to her party. It was a lovely night which saw us dressed in cocktail attire. Tony has decided he is getting old when most of the music played is our music remixed and his hearing is so bad he can only catch 2 words in every sentence. We came home after midnight and I heard Lucas drag himself in around 4:30 this morning.
This is what I made Em, she has just finished a teaching degree and is going on to do honors this year. I am always uncertain about making thinks I like for the younger generation but Gemma liked this bag so I thought I would be safe.

I used a Moo Moo huneybun called Wonderland(I think)
The stitcheries are very cute but quick to do.
Inside it has 2 very colourful pockets and stripey side panels.
It is a lovely large bag perfect for Em to carry all her books to school in.

Those handles are perfect. I have decided to make mine in the colours I am using for my tailfeather quilt I have plenty of fabric so will get on to it when the quilt is finished I think and then I can use it to put the quilt in. Though I love your version too.
It's gorgeous. I love the mix of fabrics, and the stitched pieces add that extra-special touch.

Hi Leanne,
I just love your (or should I say Ems) gorgeous bag. I have been waiting for you to blog about it coz Amanda said it was very nice. I do have it on my list of things to do but I think it needs go go up a spot or two and be the next thing started.
