Ok, so yes, I KNOW I was meant to be uploading a bunch of photos for you all today… they might still come a bit later. Trouble is, I’ve been surfing online, trying to find some fabric for this little baby:
It’s the Miranda Day tote from Lazy Girls Designs – (a pattern I picked up from The Quilter’s Barn in Blenheim… another practical souvenir!) and the truth is, I love the fabric in this picture as much as I love the bag itself. Wouldn’t it be great to say, hey, I love that fabric, where can I get some that won’t sting me in postage – and that is exactly what I want??
But hopefully, thanks to the power of the internet and trawling for hours while the Mr’s plus Neighbour Mr are playing downstairs (and raiding the pantry 
) I think I found some. At least I hope I have… I quite like the loooks of Joel Dewberry’s Chestnut hill collection I think I’m leaning towards the “Stream” palette. What do you think??
now that is a stunning bag and I love that fabric……..are you going to make us one Kelly?
Yes, yes, yes … I neeeeeeed one too! Love it! Like you say, it’s the fabric that makes it so just totally perfect… have you checked at Scrapbooking by Design? How do you do fabrics on-line when you can’t feel them first?
Nice! I’m looking at something similar for a camera bag. Yummy fabric!
Ooh-la-la – very noice … very, very noice!!!! By the time you get around to my one buddy, you will be an expert – ROFLMAO
Oooh, gorgeous bag, and GORGEOUS fabric!! I hope you find some just like this …
Are you taking orders? Thats a fabulous bag and good luck in getting the fabric.
OH YEAH!! the colours are scrumptious and the bag is divine – thats one cool bag
)
Yes, definitely the “Stream” selection – very funky colours and patterns. I think the bag is awesome – I can’t sew at all so I admire those of you who can.
Oh loving the bag! * pushes everyone outa the way* me me want;p LOL
What gorgeous fabric, from chestnut I like stream the best and from all the ones on offer I reckon I am a gingsenf gal ;p
I didn’t see an email address to contact you privately, but I had a few notes to share regarding Miranda.
The fabric on the cover is ‘Harmony’ by Windham. You can read more about it at my blog here:

I have a few add-on tips for the bag as well and those can be found here:

I hope you have a chance to give Miranda a try and enjoy her. The Joel Dewberry fabrics would be ideal for Miranda.
My best,
