Bucket Bag
I love sewing bags but sometimes they don't turn out as well as I would like. Not "sew" with my new "Bonnie" bag from Swoon Patterns. Alicia Miller is a wonderful designer that makes very user friendly patterns that make sense. There are also tutorials on the blog page on her site.
There is also a strong, active Facebook group Swoon Patterns Group with over 10,000 members that are always willing to help. A lot of inspiration there also.
The vinyl is from Joann. The fabric is an outdoor print and a tone on tone green stripe, also from Joann.
You can make the welt pocket with or without a zipper. I chose to make it with. I added a couple of extra pockets to the lining for convenience.

Um... WOW! What a gorgeous bag, Ellen. Love the use of the embroidery on the vinyl. And the combination of the two fabrics for the bag. Such a handsome finish!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lorna. Coming from you that means a lot.
DeleteWhat a beautiful bag, Ellen. I love the large floral paired with the vinyl. Adding the embroidery finishes it off perfectly.
ReplyDeleteFeatured today, Ellen.

ReplyDeleteJust select a design that is not too dense and you are good to go!!. Thanks for your comment.
