I have been inspired by the latest posts on Sew Mama Sew, and as it's my Sister-in-Law's b/day coming up, thought I would test both ideas out on her.
I got some fabric ...
Then I made the tote bag complete with French seams - they are GREAT!
And tomorrow I am going to make a co-ordinating purse using the applique tutorial.
For now though, I would like to thank everyone who put forward name ideas for the girls. It's been a tough decsion with toooooo many wonderful names to choose from but in the end, it was a comment I saw from Ali on Moogsmum who also has new girls.
And so Ladies I give you ........ (drum roll) ....
And so Ladies I give you ........ (drum roll) ....
So called because Eggy (front) will lay more eggs - 350 per year, than Peggy (back) at 250 per year.

You'll have such fun with your new girls! Mine are very amusing...except when they are devouring my geraniums!!!

Aww Eggy and Peggy! Love it!!! Sadly, one of my old girls died this week (she was about 7, so not a bad age) and the others are getting on so not so many eggs for us. I'm going to let our girls enjoy their retirement before we get more though. In the meantime I'll have to enjoy your chicken picture vicariously. x
Thanks for the link to that great tutorial - I'm going to have to give that one a go! I love your birdy fabric :)
Eggy and Peggy look very happy with their new names - I hop eEggy lives up to her name!

The tote bag looks lovely. I'm just rediscovering French seams too - they're so pleasing!
