This pattern came from my head. I tried to make one year ago but it ended up being large enough to cover about 3 mixers. But this one turned out just right (with a little help from interfacing as my test cuts.)
Meet my new sewing buddy, Toutle. He is made from the Henrietta pattern by Heather Bailey. His name is from a famous vally/river in Washington that brings me peace just like he does. The above pictures are of Toutle at rest in his home, posing for pictures and at play on a bright Autumn day.
Never again will I sew with beaded trim. 4 broken needles, 1 presser foot operation, swearing like a sailor and vacuming that sounded like rapid gun fire were all a result of these cute pink beads.
This pattern can be done with 6 variations to the band...hence "six in the city". This is the tie option. Also this bag will be at Material Girls as a model.
