WIP Wednesday

I have the week off work next week so have plans to do lots and lots of sewing. I owe my mum a mothers day present, and also my sister-in-law a birthday present from earlier this month - I figure that I was early last year so I can be a little late this year:)
These are the fabrics I have selected to make another bag using the 241 bag pattern by Anna at Noodlehead - some Echo and a linen/cotton blend that I found at Spotlight today, and a cross-hatch remnant that will be good for the lining.
(Note: For those in Australia , Spotlight has a great range of linen/cotten blends in for winter in lots of lovely colours - $12.99/m. It is similar to the Lara linen they had last year and will be very 
handy for the Zakka style projects.)
I made a couple of 241 bags last year and I really love the size and shape of them.The pattern is very easy to follow too.
I have also bought another bag pattern from Anna - the Go Anywhere bag, and I think I may make one using the Navy Echo as well.

    I don't know how many times I've admired that bag pattern, and still have never made one!! The ones that you have made are lovely. I really should jump right onto the 241 band wagon. :) Does it use interfacing for structure?

    Ooo yes...I must go and check out the new range of linens because earlier in April there were none at Spotlight. I like that shot cotton/linen fabric and of course I am a huge fan of 'Echo'.

    I love the Echino bag, great way to use a big scale print like that.
