Mum has just started knitting again after not doing it for decades so for her present I headed off to Spotlight and spent up big on a couple of pattern books and some yarn and accessories (There is about another 2 dozen balls of yarn that aren't in the picture).I had to sew her something to go with it of course, so I made up this little bag to hold what she working on from this tutorial at Pink Penguin. I picked the fabric to go with the lap quilt I made her back at Mother's Day. I made ths bag up a bit bigger in the tutorial, instead of 2" squares I made them 3" and then cut the base fabric a bit bigger as well.
Of course there is a secret agenda, everything she's knitting is for Isabella & Liam so I end up with it all back!.

The bag is gorgeous, I bet she'll love it!
Lisa, thats great, I thought it looked bigger in the photo with all that stash in it...seems like a very versatile pattern....I am really keen to make some sort of larger sewing basket with a more stable bottom...thinking of using Fast to Fuse....just need to sit down and think it through....
What an excellent gift! She is going to love it. I need to make one of those beautiful bags.
