Too full of the cold to sew properly.....

I'm feeling mega sorry for myself today. After having a horrid throat infection last week (Pus oozing out the tonsils - lovely!) I felt I deserved to skip the cold that the boys and C have had but no, I've got it. My head is full of gung. Anyway I've been trying to sew some stuff tonight but just can't do it.

I came home from dance class (only three rehearsels til show time!!!!!!! - just shoot me now and end this misery - not a hope I'll master the routine. Never mind!) and decided to run up a small bag for myself out of some fabric (Amy Bulters Lotus Wallflower and dots as pictured) I had left over from making a top (actually not quite finished it yet but I will do!).

I got the idea from the Sew Mama, Sew tutorials contest. Jill Tacy has a lovely tutorial for a little sling bag there. It is similar to bags I'd made before so I was quitely confident and didn't read the tut properly. Need I say more............................

I went for lining my front pocket with a contrasting lining rather than the same as the outside fabric. This means it can only unfold one way. Unfortunatley for me I've assembled it the wrong way! so my bag isn't square.

To rip or not to rip that is the question?
