May 2020 Eye Candy

May 1, 2020 / Kat /

So…

ALL of the bags pictured below were created using our patterns & either shared on our FaceBook Group page, or mailed to us directly!
But here’s the deal… I really love the collection of bags we’re showing you this month especially because so many of our designs are represented! seriously AMAZING!

So let’s get started!

Let’s kick it off with this beautiful Walkabout Wallet which Cathy Giunta said is her favorite pattern. Cathy said she finally made one for herself to replace her old one!

And Dawn Eratt said that when she saw this fabric she felt it was crying out to be made into a bag, so she used it for her 1st Sling Along of 2020. She added that she’ll soon have one to match every outfit she owns! (Makes sense to us!) 🙂

And Dale Whyte created this gorgeous Sling Along as a travel bag for a dear friend taking a trip to Italy! And gosh I hope she got her trip in before this virus mess, right? I can only imagine how fun it was to carry a bag like this on a terrific vacation. What a wonderful gift!

And who could ever believe that this is the first of our bags that Carrie Wells has ever made? She did SUCH an outstanding job on this Baggalista!

So after making SEVEN Sling Along‘s Dawn Eratt decided to make another Flaptastic… this time this one is for herself! She said she’s very happy with how it came out (and so am I)!
Tracy Williams made her Gadabout into an adjustable crossbody bag. She loves it and says that this design works well with panel prints!
And I LOVE the bold and dramatic fabrications that Nancy Anderson chose for her Sling Along! She said that the instructions were very detailed and easy to follow.
This is Kristy Fink’s 1st Gateway and I love the cool Simplicity Vintage print. Kristy says she’s getting a LOT of sewing done during this time of Sewcial isolating. Now she just needs somewhere to go to show off this beauty!
I totally fell in love with Jo Lacy Fowler‘s Packlet interior (although the exterior is pretty special too)! She customized her elastic slots for the special makeup items she like to carry!
And finally, Kim Mill‘s made this “bird bag” for a friend but this Sling Along is modeled by her beautiful daughter. She says she’s so glad to have some fun projects to do to keep from going stir crazy while maintaining her sewcial distance!

So there you have it!

These are the bags I thought best qualified as “Eye Candy” for the month of May 2020. I hope you enjoyed seeing them as much as I did and if you’d like to join our new FaceBook Group page to see these types of posts and SO much more, just click HERE.

    It looks like she could even fit the binoculars in that beautiful birding Sling-Along. How cool is that!
