This fun carry-all is one of Amy Butler’s brand new patterns, the Birdie Sling. Since the new Park Slope line just arrived with it’s very cute birdie fabric, I thought they would make the perfect pair. Michael did a great job stitching up this pretty purse. The shape of this bag is stylish and it gives you plenty of room for your totables. There’s good sized pockets and a nice strudy construction. My favorite details are the wide shoulder strap and the sweet pleats. This is a great all around bag that you will use everday. Just think of all fabrics you could combine to make it your own!

Amy Butler’s directions are clear and specific, which helps make for a more professional finish. Amy likes to use the right tools and interfacing to give your project polish. Since there are a few pieces to cut out and interface, I would recommend cutting and preparing the fabric on one afternoon and sewing it on another. This will allow you to come at the project fresh and ready to sew. You will be happier while sewing and your Birdie Sling will turn out beautifully. Have fun!
