September 2020 Eye Candy

September 1, 2020 / Kat / Comments Off on September 2020 Eye Candy

It’s time for your monthly treat for the eyes & here’s the deal…We actually could have called this month’s post an “ALL SLING MONTH”! That’s because ALL of the bags pictured below are either Sling Along‘s or Side Slinger‘s which is incredibly unusual but also kinda weird!

Off-hand I don’t think this has ever happened before but I think you’ll still agree that there’s some seriously amazing bags in this collection and you’ll have a hard time deciding which one is your favorite!

So let’s get started!

LaBreeska Harris said that she is SO in love with the Sling Along pattern and this particular sample that she’s actually sorry that it’s sold. It’s hard to believe that she hasn’t made one for herself yet.

Lisette Leveille‘s combination of fabrics and zippers for her Side Slinger was particularly brave but it totally works together!
And as hard as it might be to believe, this is Debra Reilly‘s 1st Sling Along and 1st StudioKat Designs pattern make even though she has two others she hasn’t tried yet. I love her choice of fabrics and her excellent fussy-cutting. It’s plain to see that Debra has skilz!

And Linda Collin‘s assistant clearly approves of her Side Slinger and no wonder! Linda said she LOVES the way this bag fits against her body. She added that she can barely feel it, the strap is BEYOND comfortable and that she’ll definitely be making more of these!

Nancy Rosa has surely made a LOT of Sling Along‘s but she says that one of the reasons she loves this design is because it can be SO unique depending on the fabrics that are chosen!
Joy Carr said that she had great fun making her Sling Along which must mean that she loves fussy-cutting because she did such an excellent job of that on this gorgeous bag!

Cheryl Suitt made stunning “back to black” Side Slinger for her son. She said she used “Cordura” for this bag which is great for guys since it’s water & wear resistant which is great for men, but that it presented a few construction challenges. She’s really pleased with the results though and so am I!

Louise McCoy also made a “man bag” for her son, in this case a Sling Along. She said she loves the pattern and that her son was really pleased with the result!
And here’s another of Nancy Rosa‘s Sling Along‘s, this one was fashioned in an embroidered print & primary colors. Nancy said her friend went crazy over it and that’s no surprise!

This amazing Side Slinger was made by Barb Flowers who said that she loves how it came out and will be proud to carry it! Barb used cork fabric for he entire exterior and added that she enjoyed working with it!

Debbie Harris said she FINALLY made a Sling Along for herself and I can’t blame her for wanting to keep this little beauty! (Check out the impeccable fussy-cutting) GREAT job Deb!
And finally, after making this, her 4th Sling Along,
Beth Hall declared she “just LOVES this pattern”!

So there you have it!

These are the bags I thought best qualified as “Eye Candy” during the month of September 2020.
