PPC28: Don't Worry, Be Happy! - Studio Kat Designs

So…

The very second that I saw this fabric on the Riley Blake wholesale portal I fell in love with it for our next pattern design (as of yet unnamed).

After all, it has everything I always look for in a fabric, that being, It’s bright & vibrant, it has a whimsical print and it’s tailor-made for a black & white stripe contrast!

I’ll tell you more about this fabric at the end of this post, but for now…

Let’s talk about this sample!

This may be a small bag, but it has LOADS of storage possibilities! First and MOST obvious, there’s two bag-width, zippered pouches… wide enough for a standard-sized wallet & longer than the largest smart phone on the market today. And speaking of smart phones..

There’s a slot pocket underneath that’s a perfect place to store your smart phone. It secured with the snap of a magnet, yet it’s easy as pie to access when it starts ringing. But here’s the deal, it could also be stored in one of those zippered pouches if you prefer, and there’s an equally wide storage area in between those zippered pouches where some smart phones could be stored. My phone… a Samsung 20 is so wide that it interferes with the magnetic closure, but there are many smaller phones that could be hidden away in this spot very easily!

And speaking of those zippered pouches… In the picture at left you can see that we’ve included one of our signature card holders here and if you have need of more than 3-4 slots for the cards you normally carry, you can easily include more card holders on the other zipper pouch walls! And the picture at right features a good shot of the bag back.

And now let’s talk more about this wonderful fabric combo!

It’s called “Happy-Go-Lucky” and this wonderful print was designed by Jennifer Heynen for Riley Blake and I knew from the moment I saw it that it would be perfect for this design… especially after I found the perfect coordinating stripe to go with it!

And here’s the deal… if you like this print combo as much as I do, we’re carrying it on our Fabrics page. Just click HERE to find out more!

And the best part is that this bag in this particular fabric is that its Studio “Cat” approved! If you don’t believe me, check out the picture at right! (I just gotta find a name for it!)

And finally… here’s some vital info about this bag

The dimensions of this bag are- 8.5″ long X 5″ tall X 3″

The proposed release date– will most likely be published in late February or early March of 2023. I know that’s vague, but I’ll be able to be more specific in a few weeks.
