Is it right?

I have two sentences: 1. Sarah went out. 2. She said she would be back in an hour.

My purpose is joining them to make one sentence. My answer is: Saying she will be back in an hour, Sarah went out. Is it ok?

Saying (that) she would be back in an hour, Sarah went out. However, the uninverted sentence would be more usual: Sarah went out, saying (that) she would be back in an hour.

  • Saying (that) she would be back in an hour, Sarah went out.
  • However, the uninverted sentence would be more usual: Sarah went out, saying (that) she would be back in an hour.
