Finally opening of the SSCS presents was allowed and so the big reveals can be…well..revealed…first up what I sent...
Stalking of May Kristin's blog was fun and provided heaps of inspiration. For the main present I wanted something that was "year round" rather than just for Christmas so I chose to make a bag.

In the spirit of me being pathologically unable to completely stick to a pattern, of course there was a further modification aside from using a totally unrelated stitchery...
Plastic "window" pockets - one for her mobile phone (I hope, I used my phone as a gauge) and one that I thought would be good for a diary or the like and that proved the case when it fitted a mini calendar perfectly. I love the bag I made myself from this pattern, it's such a great size and I hope May Kristin finds it useful.
Happy stitching...
