the big easy sling bag

I've had this fabric by Anna Maria Horner lying around for quite some time now. I purchased it as a kit to make a throw blanket, but just never got around to making it. The green poppy fabric is a gorgeous, thick velveteen and the other is a soft cotton voile. It probably would have been a deliciously comfortable throw - especially now that the "polar vortex" (I always laugh when I say or write it) is upon us. A few days ago when my old bag finally went caput, I pulled this fabric from the shelf and decided that it was to become a new bag. I have a great book called Sew What You Love by Tanya Whelan and I've had great success with everything I've made from it. The Big Easy Sling bag seemed the perfect fit - velveteen on the outside and voile on the inside. It's big enough for me to hold everything a mama of two little ones needs (pullups, wipes, snacks, the usual), but it's still very fashionable. I love it and I already have some fabric in mind for a lighter summer version.
