A while ago I made a simple
Buttercup bag from Rae Hoekstra's free pattern (
here). I've used it heaps and love most things about it. Recently I needed to make two bags as gifts so took out the Buttercup pattern and added about 1 1/2" depth to it.
I added the depth to both the outer (lower) panel and the lining. It worked out fantastically and was the only change I needed to make.
Both bags are made from Essex linen/cotton. The grey bag is lined with a DSQuilts print while the tan bag has a Lecien print.
They were quick and easy bags to make and I was excited about giving them away until I was told that another gift had been organised.
Never mind .... I now have two lovely bags in my gift-giving stash... always a handy thing. I'm sure they won't stay unused for long!
They are gorgeous, whoever get them will be delighted I'm sure!
