Bagsy
My children are obsessed with "Bagsy" of late. They Bagsy everything and it seems that, as with all things sacred, the rules of Bagsy are changing. It used to be a straightforward call, she (or he) who Bagsied had made the call, the seat/sweet, book, team... whatever, was firmly owned by the Bagsier.
Now it seems one can be out-bagsied, they shout long complicated variants over each other, vying for the prime spot.
The same thing would appear to have happened to "Rock, Paper, Scissors", deciding factor in so many family disputes. These new versions involve exploding meteors and whatnot, there is no definitive win, they keep going and going and then collapse into giggles.
It is no good thing I tell you. There must be a definitive win. When I call Bagsy, it should be the final word. I tell you, the world is off to hell in a handbasket!
My summer bag, a piece of Cath Kidston fabric from the remnant bin, lined in pink and cream ticking. And pockets, of course. A bag needs pockets.
I based the design on my favourite old linen bag, made from the Lotta Jansdotter pattern in Lotta Jansdotter's Simple Sewing
I changed a few things and it works well as a summer bag, roomy enough for all the extra stuff I seem to need on our day to day outings.

I just finished my new linen "bagsy" as well, you should check it out!
Love the bag. Love the lining. I wish my sewing was that creative!
Our favourite version of rock, paper, scissors is apple, worm, Isaac Newton. But then we are a family of out and out geeks.
Your I have wantsy about your bagsy.
My children only call bagsy on two things these days: the front seat in the car and the remote. The oldest child usually wins the battles, though.
