Waiting for the post to come

I have been eagerly waiting for the post to arrive today.  I was really pleased to see this when I opened the parcel. It is a parcel of compressed wadding!

OK, so it may not set your heart racing but it does mean that I can now get on with some sewing over the weekend (hopefully).

I have been waiting a long time patiently for Judith to release her Slouch Bag Pattern and as soon as I saw it on Etsy I pressed the 'buy' button.

You too can buy the pattern at Judith's Etsy Pattern Shop

I have some yardage of DS Flea Market Fancy Bouquet in red that I have been saving for this bag. On Wednesday I found some fabric in the same red/persimmon colour, to use as lining, at a store on Newark market.

Now all I have to do is cut out the pattern pieces and get sewing!
