A secret project revealed...And a GIVEAWAY!

Hi everyone :)

Before the belly monster arrived, I was very busily working on a project that I had to keep secret :)
But now I can SAHRE :D

I was lucky enough to test Samantha from At Home With Mrs H's new nappy bag pattern!


Unfortunately for me, I had to sew it up on the loner sewing machine :(  But it came out great, and if I was being really honest...I have actually been enjoying sewing on the loner :P

Back to the nappy bag...I have really liked using it since the belly monsters arrival.


Packed and ready for its first outing :)

This nappy bag has A LOT of pockets...


This is a hidden zipper pocket inside the back slip pocket.


A pocket on the front of the bag with a magnetic button closure. 


Inside the bag there is a large slip pocket, a divided slip pocket and a zip pocket.  
You should also be able to see 2 elasticised bottle holders.


There also are 2 elasticised pockets on the outside of the bag, 
these are for bottles or whatever you want to put in them really :P

And here are some lovely pictures of the back and the front of the bag...

(can you see the slip pocket it has a hidden zip pocket inside!)


Front of the bag

I have been enjoying this bag for a few weeks now and I am looking forward to the time when I am able to get to the sewing machine and make myself another one :)

I'm also REALLY pleased with the fabrics I chose to make this bag in - mainly as hubby isn't embarrassed to carry it around :D

This is not the 1st bag that I have made from one of Samantha's patterns and it certainly wont be the last as her instructions are always incredibly well written and are so easy to follow.


Now to some great news for YOU!
