So I have a folder on my desktop named Patterns to Try, and it's exactly what you'd think - several patterns that I've acquired that I really do want to try. So in between the quilt projects I have in the works, I'm going to try to get some of them made
First up was the Divided Drawstring Bag by Lou Orth Designs @louorthdesigns.
The pattern comes with four size options, and this is the small version, 5.5" x 6" x 5.5".
The striking feature of this particular drawstring bag is its centered pocket on the interior of the bag, indeed making it divided. Very clever!
I wasn't familiar with the interfacing mentioned in the pattern (H640 and G700 by Vlieseline) so used my standard Pellon SF101 for both the pocket pieces and the exterior, and that seemed to work just fine.
This bag is beautiful! I love the lens of "Patterns to Try" -- more of a menu to choose from than a to-do list of things to be trying to finish 100% of.
ReplyDeleteYes! I like that lens too. Stay tuned for the second one I tried. ;-)
DeleteStaying tuned!
DeleteThanks so much! I'm glad you did! ;-)
DeleteYou chose pretty fabrics for your little bag. I've never done a divider in my bags, was it easy to do? I like your idea of a folder of patterns to try. I might have to create one!
ReplyDeleteDarn! This is SO cute, and I made a promise to myself of no extra spending this month, but I feel I need this pattern!! LOL! Maybe I can justify it since I would be making them for gifts?? And, from stash.

haha. I know how that happens!!! I would say you could justify it, but you could also wait till next month?! ;-)
