project swing bag

i made the insane offer to make 11 bags from amy butler's swing bag pattern for a dear co-worker of mine, carrie. she gave these bags as gifts to her 'sista friends' as she called them. i committed to this project months prior, but little did i know i would have a huge deadline at work and be traveling the day prior to the weddding. there is never just one deadline at a time, they always seem to be grouped in threes...hmm. i guess that's life for you.

carrie got married july 26th at the chinese garden here in portland - she was the most beautiful bride. i am sad that i missed it but i was en route to rome (more on that later) to meet my hubby, shawn, who had been in dubai for 3.5 weeks prior.
