Hootiful Owl Bag

Ain't this owl bag just the cutest thing ever?!!

I made it for Joe for his birthday ...yeah, he turns 9 in December but I'm actually (for once) trying to plan ahead! I just now he'll adore it!
I put belt tabs on the back of the bag instead of a handle/strap as I thought he'd like to attach it to his belt rather than wear it crossbody.

Pattern is the Hootiful Owl Bag by Sew Quirky. It was such an easy bag to sew, I made it in two days and that's in between housework, mum duties, school duties and of course sleep!
I used Cork fabric for the body, I'd never used it before and it was gorgeous to run thru my machine! I also raided my felt stash and found plenty of glitter felt to use, it was the perfect scrap buster for those smaller pieces of felt.

..have you made any Sew Quirky pattern yet?  
..have you worked with Cork fabric before?

Ooh, these new bottoms that I just made myself are so comfy!

I'm definitely going to be making myself more of these, maybe in grey, black and possibly adding some contrast colours in to mix things up a bit.

The pockets are perfect!  Perfectly positioned, perfectly sized!

These super comfy joggers are made from THIS pattern. They are really easy to make and they also come in kids sizes too, in case you want your kids to be as comfy as you!

Oh & I got the fabric including the ribbing from here.
