Wow! Where did June go?! Can't believe that we are in July, and today it's raining! It was my parents 60th Wedding Anniversary on the 25th June so I spent most of June doing a cross stitch as part of their present. When I was looking through photos for this post I realised I hadn't taken a photo of the completed cross stitch, so here is an almost finished pic!
June's Bigger Box of Fabulous which shipped to subscribers early July, contained a bag pattern from Mrs H, The Sassy Saddlebag. My mid year resolution 😍 is to make up the patterns and project cards which go into the boxes before they are posted! Fingers crossed! This is my version, the small size. I decided not to put the flap border on and I used chicago screws instead of rivets on the straps, I find these so much easier to use as you just make a hole in the fabric and screw the two halves together.
I cut all the outer pieces including the strap, from a half metre of fabric. What I love about this pattern is that you can make it your own by cutting the pieces out of various fabrics, or out of one design as I have.
Here is the finished bag!
If you would like to make this bag you can find the full size paper pattern available on my website, here.
Happy sewing!
I really love the shape of this bag. It looks like it could be converted to a waist bag? Love the fabrics too!
ReplyDeleteYes easily! The gusset may be a bit deep but I think that could be altered. Give it a try!
