Last week my Mum and I spend a fantastic day at the NEC in Birmingham at the Sewing for Pleasure and Hobbycrafts show. I came home with a stack of fabric for several projects that I have on the horizon. I also picked up a pack of Makower NYC fat quarters. I knew as soon as I saw them that they would be perfect for a patchwork bag, and at the weekend, I sewed this...
I adapted the 'Avril's Bag' pattern from the Simply Bags book sold at my local quilting shop Goose Chase Quilting. Between us, my Mum and I have made most of the bags in this book and we really like how they turn out. I decided on this large patch bag in order to really showcase the NYC skyline fabric that I had bought. I also added an inside zip pocket for my phone and other little bits.
I am really pleased with how it turned out and it only took me an afternoon!
What have you been sewing lately?
Love Rebecca
I'm from Lichfield, which is just outside Birmingham! Hope you had a great time! The bag looks awesome!
