Oh dear... Had to get that catch all project bag from the site. What a nice designer she is!

Yours came out so nice! I think that piping is somewhat a drag, but, it makes it last so much longer and adds so much to the design of the bag. I re-did a camp 36 foot trailer once and all of the cushions had piping around the edges. Came out beautifully, but what a long drawn out process that was! There were eight large cushions and wedge backs to pipe. The window shades and Drapes and shower curtain to match to make were another story ....

Thank you! This isn't my first bag tho. I have made quite a few but this is the first with this pattern. It will be SO much easier without piping next time. I do love the piping, tho.

Looking at this bag, I'd say you are a pro and had no problem sewing it up! It's a really adorable bag!

It's beautiful! You did a great job with a difficult pattern. I've only made one Amy Butler pattern, and I almost gave up because it was so complicated.

I saw an Amy Butler bag in a shop with the her tag in it so I assume it was factory made, but it was very heavy and stiff as well, just like you are saying, felt it was a very nice bag. Yours turned out awesome, you must be a great sewist.
