Amy Butler competition winner
Protagitron: My Rural Messenger Bag is not only my favourite Amy Butler pattern that I’ve made, it’s simply one of my favourite bags. I used a really cute Amy Butler print with this magical property of going with everything I own, and a salmon lining from thrifted material. I also have good memories, because I made it with my Mom over Christmas, as my introduction to sewing (aim high sez I), and it’s one of the few times we bonded without tears. I have a feeling the pattern may have been replaced by the High Street Messenger Bag though, alas.
