I’ve made two Buttercup Bags from the lovely Rae of Made by Rae. They were gifts though, so I was finally able to sew one for me last night with some friends.
I love the bag! The pattern was enlarged a bit to fit my needs as a mom of three:).
And seeing as how I bought this fabric to make the bag in APRIL, it’s nice to use it at last—and it’s orange for fall! See? It was just meant to be postponed this long, right?

I promised a tutorial this week. And it’s done and even posted as a draft. But it’s on another blog and I’m not sure yet when they are posting it, so for now, here is a sneak peek:
Hope you all have a delightful weekend. Thanks for reading my blog, dear readers of mine:).

Enlarging a pattern is so smart, yet I forget about doing it to fit my needs. You have given me inspiration, thank you!

I have made and sold a bunch of Buttercup Bags in my etsy shop. Don’t you love the pattern. Also made the Gathered Clutch which is in my shop now. Don’t we have the best taste?
