Style Stitches Monthly Bag Challenge

I've joined jenjam's Style Stitches Monthly Bag Challenge.  The challenge is to make a bag from Amy Butler's Style Stitches (follow the link to view the bags) every month this year.  Some months will have more than 1 bag (there are 12 chapters in the book, but some chapters have more than 1 bag), so there will be 17 bags total.  Each month the results will be shared on the group's flicker page and an awesome giveaway will be held for the month's participants.  I've never sewn a bag before, so this is definitely going to be a challenge for me, in more ways than one!

This month's bag is the Cosmo Bag.  I can see this bag being used for a weekend away, a diaper bag, or as a crochet project tote.  Gorgeous and practical.  What more can a girl ask for?
