When I was in Austin a couple weekends ago for the Austin Shop Hop, I picked up a Weekender Bag pattern by Amy Butler. I have seen dozens of these gorgeous bags all over the internet, and I have decided to drink the kool-aid and make one too!
I’ve heard that it is very challenging to make, so I have definitely been doing my research on tips and tricks for this pattern. I found some great pointers at Oh, Fransson! so I am feeling a bit more confident about tackling this project.
As far as design goes, I know that I want to make one that is quilted, but I don’t know what fabric I want to use yet. I want something darkish because I want to be able to use this bag a lot, and I don’t want something that will stain easily.

And this bag contradicts everything I just said in the previous paragraph because to me it looks very girly, but I kinda like it in a strange adorable way. The stars on that front pocket are awesome and the color scheme is darling.
So that is where I am stuck right now. I have a ton of Texas A&M fabric and I have actually toyed with making one with that…. hmm I have some thinking to do. I’m going to go dig through my fabric and see what inspires me ๐
lol… you are so funny. I would pick the one fabric I like least to learn on and then make another out of my favorite! But then again I have a hard time cutting into fabric that I really love. Can't wait to see the finished project.
