Amy Butler Birdie Sling.
Much easier than the Sunday Sling, although it is also really really big.
Am quite proud of my neat pleats.

Have been back in Aus for a while, hence the lack of progress on any projects.

While I was there I did manage to make a “Reversible Sunday Sling” from Amy Butler for my sister (modelled here by my ice-cream bespattered niece).

I think next time I make it I will leave out the Thermolam interfacing on the lining, or try it with thinner fabrics - it all got a bit bulky. I also found the interior pockets very loose, but that could also be my sewing skills rather than the pattern.

Overall, pretty happy with the result for my first try.
