A Great, Big, NEW Fabric Drop
So... we had a BLAST shopping for fabrics for our next new bag design, and we've pretty much used all of these beauties in the course of developing this pattern (if not on the design that came b4 this), the Cignet Phone Pal). So let me go ahead & show you exactly how we've used them!
"Shangri-La Stripe" by Benartex
We used this fabric on what turned out to be
the cover model for our Cignet Phone Pal pattern.
"Twilight Dance w/ Polka Dot Contrast" by Sally Kelly for Windham Fabrics
This was one of the 1st few fabric we used for what will be our next new design.
"Twilight Moonlight" by Sally Kelly for Windham Fabrics
This is a two-border print which works great for bag-making. We used the "quieter" part of this panel for the contrast section of our new design.
"Shizuka w/Batik Contrast" by Chong-A Hwang for Timeless Treasures
This is a richly colored fabric with a diffinitive metallic feel. I love the way the sample I made with this duo turned out, and I'll post picture SOON!
"Magical Desert" by Mayo Moreno
We used a black polka-dotted contrast with this print, along with black & white polka-dotted zipeprs. I really liked this fabric from the moment I saw it, and the greenish tones lended a different color element to our normal blues & purples. The sample came out ultra cute too. I'll show it to you soon!
"Affinity" by Danielle Duer for Benartex
This fabric is has such completely saturated color.
I'll use a variegated print in my stash for the contrast!
"Magical Medallion" for Benartex Fabrics
I'm not sure I'll be using this fabric in this edition of Purse Pattern Chronicles,
but its nice to having it waiting for usage for our first design in 2026.
"Twilight Windswept" by Sally Kelly for Windham Fabrics
I'm not sure I'll be using this fabric in this edition of Purse Pattern Chronicles,
but its nice to having it waiting for usage for our first design in 2026.
And now.... it's YOUR turn!
So which of these new fabric ring YOUR chimes?
