My blogging friend Vanessa, yes from THE V&Co is...well spectacular. You all share my sentiments I know. One of her most recent patterns available in HER SHOP is for the Abby Bag. The first time I saw her bag I knew I needed to have this pattern and make a bag.
I had the pattern for awhile and was waiting for some extra time to put one together. My motivation to make a bag became even greater when I started brainstorming what to get Oldest Little Man's school teacher at the end of the school year. I realized quickly that this would be a perfect thank you gift for his teacher. I mean if I were a teacher I would want it.
So material gathered, pattern printed off, and with excitement in the air, I started the Abby Bag.
Y'all, I finished it in a day. I love that kind of project. I so badly needed a sewing break with all this moving hubbub around here. This bag was the perfect break. In fact, I am already planning to make another one.
It really will be the perfect Summer tote.

You wanna know what else is great about this bag pattern??
It doesn't just make you one bag...it is reversible so it makes you TWO bags. Can I get a "Woohoo"!
