bag & iron

I just love linen.  And the colors gray and mustard together.

I've had the japanese magazine that has a pic of this bag in it sitting on my desk for oh, 2 months now, constantly reminding me I wanted to make this bag.  I think the linen works fabulous with the morning call and echino fabrics, don't you?

(I'm contemplating selling it though, how many bags can I actually use?  email me if you're interested....)  yeah, that didn't last long.  I'm keeping it. :)

AND!!!!

I took your advice:

and so far, so good!  I'm hoping this one won't have to sustain the injuries that my last iron had to.  I'm going to be really careful.  I'm serious.

Happy New Year to you all!

Hi. I just found your website and bookmarked it. Looks like it's going to be lots of fun checking in on what you're up to!

Awesome bag, I've always loved grey and mustard together! Well done!
And congrats on getting the BMW of irons :-) Made in Germany, oh yeah! hehe

Love the bag Penny; the colours are great!

I actually received a Rowenta for Christmas from my Mum. I've only used it once so far, but am loving it already! Enjoy yours and I'll be sending along the thing we talked about for FMFF in a short while, I promise!

Well done on the bag --it's very nice.

The iron thing cracks me up because I had the exact same iron as your old one (made in China) that recently died and just last week bought the exact same one as your new one (made in Germany)! Did you get it at Costco? I do like it --it's heavier than the old one.

Love the grey and yellow of your bag!

That iron is very hi-tech looking. Will be watching for a report on its performance.

CUTE bag! And which model of iron is that? It looks super fancy! I love my Rowenta (now that it's working properly!) :)

[jacquie]

I have a couple yards of blue linen and mustard fabric all packed away ready to be made into a similar bag--we are so on the same wave-length!

[Wendy]

Love the bag, and wow, nice iron! I have a Rowenta too, but I'm due for a new one

[Thimbleanna]

I love the bag Penny -- especially that lining fabric -- too cool! Congrats on the new iron -- I hope you love it!

[Mom Wald]

I haven't succumbed to the seduction of sewing with linen yet, but you are making it very tempting.

New bag, new iron, what a way to start the new year.

[Dayna]

Penny, I can't remember if I've already commented on this post or not, but every time I visit your blog, I'm distracted by this bag and how cute it is!!

Agonizing...
