For the New Year is what I decided to make yesterday. Being a grandma and taking bub out - we all know that involves taking out half the house as well as lots of other bits and pieces - so a big bag was called for with lots of pockets. Out with the pen and paper to rough up the size etc, a quick rummage through the stash and I found this fabric which I thought was perfect for the outside.
I always like to use light fabric for the interior of my bags as I find it so much easier to locate all those items that fall to the bottom on light fabric rather than dark. I also put in a solid bottom which can be taken out of the sleeve for washing when needed. I put a velcro strip on the inside of the large pocket for items that need securing. Here is a photo of the interior.
I have packed my bag for grandma's day tomorrow with all the necessary bits and still have room to add in some shopping.
I also managed to finish off another one of my themed table toppers. This one is for January - a beach flavour.
I have a few more to go and will be back soon with some photos as I finish them off and in the meantime happy sewing all.

A very serviceable bag ... I like the light interior ... hunting through a black interior is painful!
Love the table topper, your quilting looks great.
Hi Karen love the bag such a great size and also love your table topper,well done.xx
Love the bag. I hate hunting around in my bag,or shouldI say the boys hate being with me when I have lost something. Lol.very nice table topper.
How clever! Great idea for the pockets and I agree with making the inside lighter to see everything. Such a problem with most bags. Love the hexie mat too. Hope you enjoyed your grandma day.
