  wow— i hadn’t seen this bag before, so i looked up the pattern. i have to say, i like your rendition even better than the original! i love the side pockets you added, and the rounded shape.

  Thank you, Gloriana Oh my, I hope Amy Butler doesn’t use Timtex for every parts. That stuff is very stiff. I hate working with Timtex. Heavyweight sew-in interfacing sounds good to me.

  I would say this is an intermediate pattern, simply because of all the steps and the perseverance it takes to work with the piping, the interfacing, etc. I didn’t use the Timtex – I went for heavyweight sew-in interfacing instead – and I also omitted the piping around the long edges of the bag. Both these steps made it significantly easier to complete.

  I always want to sew this bag. Yours came out wonderful. Was it hard to sew? I have heard that this is not an easy pattern to sew. By the way, I love Any Butler’s fabric and her pattern too. I have made curtains and slip cover from her fabrics.

  Yep – this is Amy Butler’s “Weekender Bag” pattern. I bought mine locally, but Reprodepot.com sells a lot of her patterns. Thanks for the nice comments! :)
