New bag project

Well... I have taken the plunge! I am remaking my favorite travel/ cosmetic bag! (yikes!) I received this bag... oh probably over 7 years ago (maybe even 8) and have loved it. It goes everywhere with me! To Ukraine to camping to short weekend trips to see my family. It has the perfect amount of pockets and I love that it folds out. I tried looking for another to replace it but found nothing that even compares. So that is when I got thinking...

I have bought the lining fabric already and the outside fabric is on its way from purlsoho.com (a fantastic fabric online store).
The Bag
The Fab out side oilcloth (it has birds on it and it is purple! It does not get any better than this!)The wonderful Amy Butler trumpet flower laminated cloth that I will use for the lining and two out side pockets.


Soooo... needless to say I am really excited to start this project. A bit nervous since I have never sewn oilcloth... but I am using the old bag (which I have torn apart) as the pattern. I can hardly wait til it is done! My goal is to get it done before we head up to IN to see our families at Christmas.
