It is made with Joel Dewberry (Ginseng) home-dec weight fabric leftover from making this bag. The interior is Amy Butler's Nigella print, also home-dec.
I knew last time I made it, I wanted a slightly longer strap, but after completing the bag I realized it was too long. Recalling a sweet button I bought at the textile market in Amsterdam a couple of years ago, I came up with a very simple strap-shortening-solution that almost looks like I did it on purpose.
It's snowing like crazy. Should be an interesting soccer practice for D tonight. I bet all of those 12 year old girls will be too busy trying to catch snowflakes on their tongues to pay any attention to their coaches! I know that's what I'd be doing.

Sweet bag Krista, way to use up the overabundant fabric from your "OMG you made that?!" bag. :0)
Snow has stopped here so am crossing my fingers that it is warming up!!!!
Gorgeous bag! I love that strap shortening trick, I used it last year on a bag I made my daughter but my folds were a bit bigger, it reminded me of butterfly wings so I called it her butterfly bag and she never knew the reason behind it :)
Cute bag! It came out very well. I like that pattern a lot too.
Gorgeous bag...what a good friend you are!! And what a cute trick to shorten a strap!! Of course you have to have a cute button to go on top...think I'll whip over to Amsterdam to get a couple!!:o)
Take care!

This is great! And really, that easy to make? The strap shortening is genius!
You are waaaay too talented for one person! Wow! Lucky friend!
I need to make one of these adorable bags!! Thanks for the link to the pattern. I had misplaced mine. :)
Oh how i wish I could be one of you guys who can write whip up and bag in the same sentence without being a joke. The bag is wonderful, I love the fabric and the little folded rosette on the strap!
I love it! It's so gorgeous!! I just love that fabric. It makes it look so expensive. Well, it's expensive fabric, but you know what I mean. LOL!! Hugs Ariane
Your bag is georgeous!
Very cute bag, and great strap solution!
love this free pattern... your bag is so cute! :)
Your lining looks so crisp and neat. Do you interface it? Love the fabric!
I need to make one of these. I really do love the pattern, and I love that with the right fabric it doesn't look like a something a "quilter" made. (You know what i mean by that right... )
PS- I love the button/bow on the strap. You should do that on purpose more often.
You are really making me want to try out the pattern! Your buttercup bag is so beautiful! I can imagine seeing a bag just like this at my favorite local store. Oh and the strap-shorting solution is fantastic!
oh hey fun! So glad you love it! Very cute, and love the strap "embellishment"! :)
