Eye Candy for February ’23

January 30, 2023 / Kat /


So….now that all the craziness and celebrating of the New Year is over its time to get down to the business of bagmaking and that means we have a whole new batch of Eye Candy to share with you!

So let’s get right to it!

Let’s kick February off with Kim Turner who used a fabric for her Triple Play that she’s had in her stash for over 8 years! She combined it with a coordinating vinyl for the bottom of this bag and threw in some exemplary fussy-cutting for one heck of a bag!
This crisp & classic Side Slinger was created by Brigid Johnson as a Christmas gift for her sister and she LOVES it! And who can blame her? This fun bag has a serious case of business in the front and PARTY in the back! 🙂
Monica Perkins altered our Odyssey pattern just a bit by making it shorter… wider… and by using sew-in magnets instead of the prescribed clamp-in variety and she’s very happy with the results!
And here’s another of Jeanette Jay‘s (#mamajay55) creations which was her last make of 2022! (Don’t you just LOVE the pop-of-lime interior?) Her customer plans on using this Side Slinger as a concealed carry bag!
And Angelia Loggie gave this amazing Sling Along to an LQS owner for the holiday and she was thrilled with it! (I would also like to know how many classes she sold based on this wonderful sample!)
And Lynn Pardy said she absolutely LOVED making this incredible Bella BiFold! And while I love the play of print and color that Lynn chose I was totally fascinated with the unique bias tape she chose to use here. Turns out that Lynn very cleverly chose a diagonal print for her bias tape which is a trick I’ve never used myself… but certainly look forward to trying myself someday!
Gail Wisun-Gooch loves our Gemini FlightBag design SO MUCH that she just had to make another! This time she added a cash pocket & a key hook and based on this sample, Gail said she just might make yet another!
This fun & “comical” Side Slinger was of course created by Jeanette Jay! She advised that the fabric
she used here is called “Detective Comics” and she found it at Spoonflower!
And here’s another Sling Along created by Angelia Loggie for a LQS owner. I’m sure she was thrilled to get this sample for her store because it definitely means she doesn’t have to make a sample herself!
And this my friends is literally one of the most fantastical bags ever created by one of our customers! That’s because LaDana Zadorsky used vinyl for the ENTIRE exterior of her Sling Along and that includes the BIAS TAPE for this amazing bag! To be quite honest, I actually advised LaDana to NOT use the vinyl for her bias tape… but just look how beautiful this bag is! (And just so you know… LaDana added extra difficulty to this project by using canvas for the lining!

And now it’s YOUR turn!
