A deal

Does this sound fair?
A friend of mine who was once a chef makes the very best sponges.
Tony loves them.
So Tony brokered a deal I would make this bag for her and she would make him some sponges.

Bag for Heather

this is another bag from Lisa Lam's "Bag making Bible" I have definitely got my money out of this book.
Heather wanted the bag for her daughter who has just had a baby. I think it is perfect for a new mum as it is very roomy and has lots of pockets.

Bag for Heather

the most scary part of this bag was these snap locks....... I always worry about them working out................. and if they don't having a hole in the bag.

I have also made another pencil roll for one of the women from gym........... she wanted pink I think I covered that.

I want to see pictures of cake!

The bag is nice though...

Exactly how many cakes does one get for a bag? Im curious.

Lorraine said...

I agree with Periwinkle...you are the bag making queen! Not sure how many sponges you get for one bag though! ....or should I say how many sponges Tony gets!

Once again you've created something pretty special Leanne. I agree-you are the bag making queen. I must get that book you refer to - I've made quite a few bags but find that a lot are a bit on the small side. Please make more stuff soon and post - you are an inspiration! Jill x

Lovely bag and pencil roll is pretty cute. Just wondering how much longer Squid can sleep through the house being demolished next door, sounds like they are on our doorstep.
