A Hobo Bag for Autumn~

Hi there!  I'm so sorry if you are looking for the 'one fun thing' I brought back from my latest trip~ I still haven't taken photos, but they will be coming...soon I hope!!

Lately I have been playing catch-up around the house and doing a bit of fun sewing. :-)
Samantha from  Mrs H is a bag pattern designer,
and I had the opportunity to test her newest pattern~
I made this with 'me' in mind!  I have been wanting a new autumn bag!




I chose wide wale corduroy for one side and a tone-on-tone quilting cotton for the other.  I strayed from the pattern just a little bit as I did not use my contrast for the other side, that is why you see the orange inside. ;-)

                                      I love the side detail and the uniquely shaped handle~
it fits my shoulder perfectly and is quite comfortable. I like the corduroy so much that I doubt I will ever reverse the bag, but if I do, you will spot me in a crowd!  LOL  It has a zipper pocket on the back, and also inside, so my phone & keys are handy.

Our weather has been cool lately, I am ready for autumn!
How about you?  Done any fun sewing just for yourself  recently? :-)

Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!!

Well - isn't that a pretty bag? And corduroy will last a long time. Yes - it's getting colder each night. I'm not sure I'm happy about that. :-)

B-r-r-r-r

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
