I managed to ignore distractions yesterday afternoon and finish my Baguette handbag.
Frances kindly offered to model it for me thismorning - I thought that might be more attractive as I'm still in my banana print flannelette pj's (I could join the bananas in pyjamas).
This is my very first zippered handbag pocket. I'm actually amazed at just how easy it was (due to Nikki's fantastic instructions).
I'm going to fill it up with my various bits and bobs and hit the op shops later on today...yippee!

Oh, so cute!! Will have to make one now, great fabric too. Sorry didn't get out your way yesterday, money issues and no petrol! Resolving now though. Might as weel bring swap stuff to Sewjourn, leave some room in your car haha.
oooh gorgeous!
I love that fabric!
This bag is unbelievable! I love it. Have you noticed how much the fabric is like that at the heading of your blog? Of course you have.
Oh, beautiful job Cam. I have two bag patterns by Nikki, but have so far lacked the uninterrupted time and focus I need to sew them. (I don't want to wing it either)
It worked out beautifully! I love the fabrics you chose, they should combat a Melbourne winter nicely. : )
Great choice of fabrics, well done xx
Oh! I do love the bag. I'd like to make myself one. Or two. Or even three.
A zippered pocket is very important in a handbag, especially if the bag is an open model. Lovely fabrics!
Super star!!! Thanks for testing it for me, Cam. You're a gem. Thanks also for saying lovely things.
Looking swish! Clever you.
super gorgeous! i just commented on your last post before i saw this one opps! it certainly did turn out brilliantly!
It looks FANTASTIC!! Zippers still scare me, and I've made hundreds of zippered pouches. Go figure!
Wow - very very cool. Have fun in the op shops!
Oh it worked out beautifully - don't forget to show us what you bought at the op shops :)
THat looks great! Congrats on doing the zipper just right :)
Looks great Cam, well done on the zip pocket
Perfection Ms Curlypops. And Frances is quite a spunk, Mrs Doubtfire might be more useful but frankly I'd prefer to be looking at Frances and at least pretending to be so svelte...
BTW I was at a blogmeet today and saw no less than THREE Curlypops crazy-stitch flower brooches. They look wonderful Cam.
It looks fantastic Cam!! Well done! I saw a tote bag the other day made from an old tea towel! They'd simply folded it and sewn it up, then added the inner material (what's the proper word for that gain?) Oh, right! Lining! Then they'd put a zip on the top and viola! I thought you might be able to do the same with some of your tea towels. Just a thought.
looks wonderful! :D
Hey, nice job on the baguette! Love the finish.
I am most impressed Cam. It looks great.
Awesome - looks fantastic!
Wonderful! It looks perfect... yo clever girl. I must conquer the zip!
Fantastic! I can definitely see you carrying that one around :-)
Just perfect!
ohhh I love it - I espec love it that the inside is as divine as the outside - yummy !! le
your bag is very impressive Cam it looks soooo wonderful you are so clever
This bag looks even better in the flesh (fabric?)
