New Bag coming

I have a lot of patterns and I am constantly finding new ones. Free is great. And I then want to try them all.

One i have really been trying to find is a messenger bag. I have one- and its pretty simple but it is small and no pockets. And its a bit tricky. Its not hard but the way it is constructed really is a bit weird to do and follow. The only tutorial is a video which i love cause im a visual learner, but i have to watch it over and over to see what im doing. I can get the measurements etc but cant remember how to do it. Ive made several of these bags- most recently for my niece's upcoming birthday.

But I needed a larger one with pockets! And i finally found one and its HUGE. Im working on cutting out fabric from my stash to make a tester with it. I have two sold already ( these people really give me too much credit) a Nightmare before Christmas and a Raiders one. I appreciate the support and faith though. 




 This is the bag i made for my niece. Had some oops attaching the flap to the bag. 

This is the NEW bag pattern. Its been cut and im about to sew it. But this is from the site. 

Apple Green Cottage Messenger Bag

Its a free pattern. Theres a lot of cutting and you need a lot of material. She has some pretty good stuff on there. 


 

I will post soon with my version and also when i make the other two so you can see the completed project. I am selling these bags for 55.00 and you can add a name or design on the flap if you like. 

What is your favorite bag? Do you like this style? I have a crossbody bag from another site coming up as soon as i can figure this one out. And tons more.

She has a few more i have seen i wanna try- the drawstring bag, placemat, pillow cover, hanging basket to name a few. I love free patterns. And if it is easy and looks good then im more inclined to buy patterns the person might have up for sale. And she has a ton of great little projects to keep me busy.

New Years resolutions

 I always say I am going to do things- and never do them. This year I have made a few goals- goals sounds like a much better word to me.  One of the things is to write and post on here every day something i make, or things i find that i wanna share with someone. I wanted to start this on , you guessed it, Jan 1st lol but life just sucks lately.  So today im sharing one of my goals- which was to get out of my comfort zone and push myself craft wise. In other words sew the damn patterns i have been hoarding since 2002 lol. So i am. And finding new ones to hoard as i go.  Free patterns are the best. I couldnt find one for a wallet i wanted so i gave in and purchased one on etsy. The wallet is great- the person that wrote the pattern, not so great. sorry not sorry. It was not wrote well and I had to muddle through it to figure things out. But i did. ( I wont publicly list the shop etc if you can find it then good on you)  I used some of my stash of mickey fabric to ...

The one with the Messenger bag

 Dear. Lord When I said this bag was going to be large I really mean it is going to be large. My husband thought it was a diaper bag.  Im actually working on the second one ( for a paid order) now. Its a pretty easy sew. Some oops and learning curves.  BUT with some adjustments it could be a great bag. One thing is if you are using cotton for both out and in I really do suggest you use a heavier interfacing on one side for more stability. I think she used a canvas on one side.  Here is the new one - Nightmare before Christmas for an order. Oh and this bag takes a lot of fabric. Not like yards but you will need a yard of each of your fabrics you use for in and out especially if you use it for pockets etc
