For My Mom...


If you have been hanging around here long enough, you have already seen several versions of this bag.  It is the (pattern) My Paris Traveler's Bag by Fig Tree & Co.  This is the bag I made with the fabrics that I chose for my mom.  I should have gone ahead and made it this summer when I actually bought the fabric.

On this third trial, I made one modification to the pattern...I cut the gusset (bottom/end) piece a bit shorter ...I should have written it down because I do plan to make more of these.  When I cut it the length that the pattern specifies, it is too long.  I think I might have cut it about 3/4 of an inch shorter which worked out perfectly.

Anyway, I know my mom will love it because she saw the others I made and said she wanted one...she will especially love the hummingbird fabric, I think. 

I do have a few more gifts to finish, so off I go...

i bet your Mom just loved it. My Mom loved hummingbirds too and it made me think of her when I saw it. :)
