A new bag for an old bag.

And I swear my mom is going to kill me for that title. But at least she has a spiffy new bag.  I found a great home decor fabric in the remnant bin, I couldn't pass it up and had an idea for a bag.  When my mom visited for Mother's Day I showed her what I wanted to make her and she loved the idea.  The pattern is from One Yard Wonders, a great book that has given me tons of projects.

The catch was that mom wanted a different fabric for the interior which meant a trip to the fabric store (twist my arm) for the remaining items needed for the bag.  I'm glad I was able to go with mom to get everything else we needed so she could pick out the zipper and the webbing.  This way I knew she'd really love everything on the bag.

The pattern was really simple and didn't take a long time.   I'll admit that I hope mom gets lots of compliments so she can reply "My daughter made it for me."
