I made the Amy Bauer Sling Purse, super, super easy, made it for my DGD in college and made it out of shade of orange/yellow batik and lined it with pin dpt yellow/white. It came out so neat. I didn't get a picture of it before I sent it to her...now she has decided I can sew after I have sewed for weddings etc for years, she never wanted me to sew for her...now she wants a quilt....maybe she is getting smarter...I did raise her, so she was exposed to sewing all the time...
