Tote Bag (aka Kimberly Bag) Complete

 I am so happy I signed up for this Sew Party because if I hadn't I wouldn't have this cute bag complete.  It's the Kimberly Bag by Amy Butler out of Nigella by Amy Butler for Rowan Fabrics.

Thank you Kris and Kelly!

OMG that is such a great bag - it looks like something you'd pay big $$ at a high end store. I just might have to buy one more pattern.
