Hearts and Strings Bags- 1st January finish!




This is my first finish for January 2009!
I purchased the pattern last year from Cranberry Crafts at Ulverstone and have been wanting to make a bag ever since. I got a little carried away and ended up making 6 of them.....some of my friends laugh at me as I can never make just one of anything. The pattern is called Hearts and Strings Bag by Apples of Gold, designed by J Knol and Y Tomlins. I have used one of my favourite fabrics- Wee Play.

Do not laugh I got that same pattern same place last week and managed to much it up big time so it has been sitting looking at me since last week, I missed a full panel so it is too short.
