I love all the AB patterns. I have made the super easy Swing Bag for my mom for mothers day and she was so happy she started to cry! I am about to make the covington for a christmas present…It looks very easy and cute too. Thanks for all the info on the books:)

Well, I must confess that I’m so addict in “Barcelona skirts” pattern :) With one pattern you can create 2 sorts of skirts and one apron !! This model of pattern is so lovely even if you have big calf !!! ( calves ??? sorry I don’t know how to write it in english )!! I love so much this skirt because it suits so well and can be reproduced in as many times as you want with so much differents fabrics that nobody can discover you only have one skirt pattern in your craftroom desk LOL !!!!! The only thing I regret is that I still have to sew one with the same fabric as shown on picture theone I adore from Lotus collection :) (Please forgive me for the englics mistakes as I’m french speaker from tiniest country called Belgium LOL)

I’ve been admiring Amy Butler’s designs for quite a while but it took the clean lines and reversibility of the Chelsea Bags make me take the plunge. It’s a great bag for carrying and stowing knitting projects!

I love my In Town Bag. I get compliments on it all the time. I also love her Kimono style robe from In Stitches. As soon as I am done sewing for the kids I plan on making one of these for myself

I love the Swing Bag! I’ve been carrying my groceries in it for three years now, and it shows almost no sign of wear!

By far, my favorite Amy Butler pattern is the Swing Bag. Versatile & big enough to carry sippy cups, makeup bags, etc. It also makes for a great gift, too!

I must admit that I’ve never made anything from this artist before. I have been lost in the woods of motherhood for too long and am longing for a personal creative outlet. With Christmas coming I feel like I can do some sewing and crafting with the excuse that it’s for a gift! Thanks for the great inspiration on your blog.

My favorite is the Kimono-Style Bathrobe. I made it out of this great Japanese style flowery fabric that I found at a thrift store. It is wonderfully cozy and comfy. I also love the Oversized laundry bag that I made. It makes it so comfortable to carry my laundry to the laundromat.

I love the swing bag. I think I have made it 10 times now, at least 6 of them in different fabrics! It goes so fast and makes a great gift. Now that I’m thinking about it, I think all the sister in laws need one for Christmas!
