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!
Gretchen Adams said that this little Go-Go Compact was a bit of a workout, but she’s VERY pleased with the results! I can sure see why, right?
Mary Larson made her latest Sling Along out of chenille upholstery which means it’s going to be ultra-durable! She added that she’s totally in LOVE with that red!
Celia Ann Oliver (Sew Serendipitous Bag Designs) is back with what might be her most incredible Bellagio Bag EVER (and that’s saying a LOT)! Celia used Harris Tweed for the entire exterior and added a pretty Robert Kaufman lining.
Nancy Rosa just used fabrics & notions she already had on hand for this Boho Baguette since she wasn’t at all sure how this bag would turn out, but she said this bag was so much fun to make and the pattern was so amazing that she can’t wait to make another!
Elaine Thousand has made several Sling Along‘s but she said this is her absolute favorite so far! I love the cork fabric she used on the front pocket and the embroidery she added is great!
Pat Kroesch‘s favorite thing about her Cosmo Convertible? She loves that it can be worn as a backpack, a cross-body bag AND a shoulder bag! But MY favorite thing is the fabulously colorful exterior!
Everyone’s favorite guy sewist, Don Distler is back in a BIG way with our new design from last Fall, the Gateway! And all dressed up in Tula Pink fabric, this little bag REALLY knows how to make an entrance!
And Nancy Rosa loved the look of her Boho Baguette (above) SO much that she decided to make herself a matching Encore Purse Insert. Nancy added that she’s learned a LOT by working with our patterns!
And I have a feeling that this adorable Gateway (and the one below) are going to be BIG hits with our readers! They were BOTH made by Tracy Williams!
Tracy said she had a lot of fun making these two Gateway‘s and that this design is perfect for panel prints! And after using several panel prints myself on this design I can attest that this is true! I just can’t decide which of these bags I love the most!
So there you have it!
These are the bags I thought best qualified as “Eye Candy” for the month of June 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.
