Joolz can sew! (who knew?)...

I have had the tutorial for this Posh Pick n Mix Bag from Buttonberry since November 2008.
I finally decided to go ahead and try and make it

The first thing you should know - I am not a sewer - I am in fact quite dislexic when it comes to all things patterny and turn inside outy with right sides togethery. But I took a deep breath, got out the necessary materials and started.

So far, so good! As I went along, following each page of the tute I started to be amazed at how easy it was and each step just fell into place.
~

I didn't even have to unpick anything, not once!
~It's starting to take shape now - look at those perfectly square corners!
~

It was quite tricky, turning things inside out and right sides together - this is what usually befuddles my brain (did I tell you that before??).
~

Wow, I turned in rightside out from inside out and it looked exactly like Buttonberry's picture!
Hello? This is a lined, stiffened, perfectly straight seamed Posh Pick n Mix Bag, ladies!
~

Sew up the small gap where I turned it through then stitch around the top - hey, even that went according to plan! Sew on the buttons (Brianna reckons they are crooked), ribbon and bead
and ...
~

Ta da!!! Can you believe, I even fluked getting the pattern centred (not at all by intention)!

I'll be making more of these as gifts - I may make them slightly taller for easier folding over.
