I'm joining the Sew Along...a little late.

I recently added Amy Butlers new book to my craft pile  and also have discovered that there is a Sew Along taking place this year.  (see the little box at top right?)

About 30 minutes ago, I finished the Cosmo Bag.

I'm shocked at how much this bag will hold.  Shocked, I tell you!

This was, technically, the January project...so I'm behind a little.   I also know that I'm gonna jump around in this book and sew things as my inspiration and motivation lead.

This side has 4 pockets. 2 small 2 med

This side has 2 large pockets

I changed the pocket configuration,  inside the bag, from 4 large pockets (2 on each side)  to 2 smallish pockets   and 2 medium pockets  on one side; for something like...oh..a couple extra necessities for the littles and also the small pockets for things like an iPod and/or phone.   The other 2 pockets are fairly large and would hold diapers, or a paperback book, etc.

I am planning to list this one on my etsy site, but if it hasn't sold by Mid-May  it will happily become my knitting storage bag.  And if it does sell  I'll just make another one.

As for the construction - whew - I'm not what you'd call mega experienced.  It does make me a bit nervous that this bag is listed as "easy".   There were moments when the instructions had me putting everything down and leaving it for an hour or two (or overnight) while I tried to get a mental picture of the process.  More pictures would have helped tremendously.   When I make this bag again I will try to take "step-by-step" photos to help illustrate the vague parts of the instructions.  Maybe that will be helpful to someone out there.   maybe.

Bye for now.
