I love the way yours came out!  I have had the pattern for a while, and I'm inspired to finally give it a go.  I LOVE the sleeves!

the two in the city of Chicago are closing.  There are a couple in nearyby 'burbs that will stay open, but it makes me sad.  Just happened to stop by there yesterday.  Fabric is 20% off right now. 

great info!  Thanks for the tute!  Those little pockets are so handy!

Beautiful bag!  All you stuff is just gorgeous!  Your attention to detail is inspiring...

I love your fabric choice!  I, too saw the dress on the Amy Butler page and am trying to figure out how I will interpret it. I love the way you did it!  Adding darts is a great way to adapt the BBW pattern.  i have to figure that one out, as I am just now getting into sewing clothes.

I tiny tear just welled up in my eye.  I love this fabric, and everytime I go to Ikea to restock my supply, they're out.  Great bag and great fabric!

Gorgeous work!  I have tried that stitch before without success.  It just looked sooo messy.  Yours looks great!

Second one is my favorite.  Your stuff is always so well made! 

Soooo sorry to hear about your pup! as attached as I am to mine, I can imagine the sense of loss!!

I love it!  I saw a bag like this at anthropologie and thought it was great!  and I love the lining!  good job!

oooh!  ooh!  I'm in!  I have been wanting to try out an ami.  I have some roxy patterns, so I think I might do a version of the monkey.  I wonder if he's easy enough for my first project...
