Birdie Sling

The much anticipated (perhaps only by me) Birdie Sling by Amy Butler is ready to be revealed!

Fabric is by Valori Wells
I think this bag is beautiful! This bag is very large (talking about being able to fit a child in large) and needs a big print on the outside. Some have commented that this bag is very Springy and fun. I have to agree! As much as I didn't like having to cut and apply interfacing it definitely makes the bag sturdy.


One thing I like about sewing is being able to learn something new all the time. During this project I learned how to make gusset. I didn't know what a gusset was when reading the directions, but the designer did a great job explaining through step by step directions and diagrams.

The inside has one large pocket divided down the middle to make two and a smaller pocket.
I'll probably make this bag again, but there are so many projects on my to-do list I'm not sure when it will happen.  I would recommend this pattern and designer. If you have any questions just let me know!

  3. I just do a little at a time. That's why it takes so long sometimes for projects to get done.

    Thanks Jan! I've only taken it out once for a spin. I'm trying to decide if it's going to be a gift or if I'm keeping it for myself....
