This is my new bag. The pattern is the Small Slouch from Nicole Mallalieu and those gorgeous fishes are a Thea & Sami design, Loads of Fishes*.
It's the perfect size to take everything you need for a night out with good food, good conversation and an amazing person sitting opposite you.
Hey.... why don't you make something for yourself? Go on....
*I'm sorry Thea, but those fishes are way too beautiful to be drying dishes!

Nice bag ... and you make a good point. I wouldn't mind a new somthing just for me ... will do!
Why is it that we always sew for others first?
All I ever sew for myself seem to be dodgy prototypes!
Having seen the trés elegant small slouch up close, I can vouch for it's trés elegance. And you have prompted a sideways glance at those three bits of summer-skirts-for-me fabric stashed to my left...
very nice indeed! well deserved lovely Nikki.
I agree about the thea & sami & did you read my mind today or what!! to good for just drying dishes.

Your blog icon caught my eye. I have to agree - your bag looks way better than a kitchen tea-towel!
You have no idea!! I totally made myself something today and it fits and I made it from scratch and I can't wait to share it... But I need to show some flesh...hmmm... Love your bag and your right it looks the perfect size for all things Nikki!! So happy to see you making something for yourself.
btw... what ever happened to your doll that was being hung out to dry... the 'chuckie' look a like? hehe

Very nice. I have started a list of "things for me" and "things for the kids" since I am usually making things for everyone but us. I'm hoping I'll be good about making at least a few of those items this year. Time will tell. ;)
It was extremely interesting for me to read this blog. Thanks the author for it. I like such themes and anything connected to them. I definitely want to read a bit more soon.
Sincerely yours
Super sweet bag Nikki! Yay for making something for yourself. Your so right, that fabric is much too cool to be a tea towel. Hmmm... what should I make for myself....
:)
Thanks for the reminder to make for me. Something that I realised never happens around here. Your bag is perfect for a date with the man or a friend. How good does it feel to go out with a small bag instead of one with nappies, bibs, changes of clothes etc?! x
You are absolutly right - one should do that more often...
Lovely bag - I like the fabric - if only we had such great fabric like that here...
Love the bag - and you've definitely inspired me to give the pattern cover an updated picture.
Clever you, the bag looks really good.
A lovely bag Nikki and it is always nice to treat ourselves!
I adore it.
But hey, I don't remember going out to dinner with you... who could you be describing?!
I bet it really brings you happiness, love Posie
It is a great thing to put yourself first for once and create something purely for your own pleasure. You go girl!
ooooh your bag is adorable...so is your boy fairy. I will definately make something for myself as soon as I get a few overdue projects out of the way...one is a xmas present...last xmas not next!!!!
Oh yeah now yhat is a good bag , extra special 'cause it's all yours !
Great bag... and great to see that you made something for yourself too!
That is a great bag. You're right we crafty folk often forget to treat ourselves!
Good point.
Great bag.
More nights out would be good, too...
love it nikki. hope it was a great night out
It's a rather lovely bag! I really like those fishes too. And it's a very good reason for going on dates - now you've got the bag you really need to use it as often as possible! x
That's such a cute little bag, Nikki. And you are so right, it is silly that we always first seem to sew for other people and in the end often don't have time anymore to sew for ourselves. I'm guilty of that too. It's not only sewing for others that gets in the way, it's also the feeling I first have to iron, do laundry, clean the kids room, etc etc. You taught me a lesson today: I am going to sew first and then see what time I have left for the laundry! :-)
Lovely bag Nikki, I think your new header is really cute too!
Love Love Love. Love the fabric, Love the bag, Love the making things for you. I hve found it a little addictive once you start!
very nice indeed! well deserved lovely
