Made this bag for my niece in FL. It is a roomy bag and very comfortable to carry. Also made a matching "Snap Happy Bag" and a tissue holder. I did the FMQ on the bag and tried my hand at flowers since there was flowers on the bag. Also added her monogram on the top strip. Not sure that shows up very good in the pics.

Still can't get it to rotate.

It is an Amy Butler pattern called the "Birdie Sling".

I gotta try the snap bags, but I don't have any old tape measures.

Love the orange.

If you're adopting, I can be available too.

My dh happen to have one laying around. Someone told me you can get a refill for one at Big Lots for very little. I thought I would check the next time I'm there. They are fun to make and go together quickly.
