MOBC - Ruby Tuesday

I made the Ruby bag before the 241 tote, but couldn't resist the post title so am only just posting about it.

 I  love how this bag has turned out, although had a couple of sweary moments with the pattern instructions.  I bought some Echino cheater patchwork print for this bag and matched it with some pink spotty lining.

Spotty lining again!

I clearly didn't read the instructions properly as I was quite surprised by the finished size of this bag.
It's  massive and so perfect as an exceptionally large beach bag (or gym bag, if I actually went), so I get to kill two bags with one pattern ;-).  I am considering making this bag instead though, all I would need to buy is the Jute straps....


challenge update:

1. Laundry bag - made from Jeni's pattern
2. Pleated zipper pouch - smallest size.
3. 241 tote bag
4. 2 Makeup pouches (style B and C from Oh. Fransson's pattern)
5. An exceptionally large beach bag. covered by bag number 7.
6. Go anywhere bag
7. Ruby bag

So it's just the small makeup pouch and the Go anywhere bag left to make in 6 weeks, which means I have time for a mini diversion! ;-).
