My Amy Butler Weekender

I acquired the pattern for this Amy Butler wonder shortly after it came out a few years ago.  I went straight on and made this bag.  I love it.

I am seeing it in lots of other people's blogs and I thought I should show off my early efforts.

The instructions were so well done that I didn't make one mis-step.  It's a very useful size for real travel.  I only wish I could figure out a way to make the bag itself lighter - without sacrificing stiffness...

Watch for my next blog to see what I used to stuff the bag with for shape holding purposes...
