So it's great to be back... it's time to get back to our regular programming with another "Eye Candy Showcase", this one the first of 2026! And WOW! What an amazing group of bag designs are represented in this month's showcase!

So... if you're ready for some eye-popping fun...

Let's get back to it!

Here's Marthe Jones (one of our regular testers), showing off her Cignet Phone Pal. Even though she wasnt able to test for us in this round, she still wanted to make up her version of this design! Isn't it fabulous?

And Marjorie Baker made this adorable High Seas Convertible for her granddaughter. I love it and I'd be willing to bet her granddaughter did too!

EC830

And here's the Gemini FlightBag that Linda Blakely created with fabric from Tula Pink, and she LOVES how it turned out! (So do I!)

EC831

And here's the Walkabout Wallet that Gry Kristen Wiger Bje (aka #sjefshona_1958 on Instagram) and that's where I spied this beauty!

EC832

And here's an ad I spied on Instagram for a class that Brenda Smith offered featuring our Everyday Attache. She created this sample and added that this bag has TONS of storage!

EC833

And Lori Bridwell with her classic take on our Cignet Phone Pal. Didn't she do a GREAT job!?!

EC834

And finally, Susanna Hoberg made her sister & herself epic matching Everyday Attache Halloween bags. She said it's been a long time since she's made anything other than a quilt, but that even though this bag was challenging, it was lots of fun to make & wants to make MORE!
