Travelling? Heres a Free Bag!

Recently our family decided to on a spontaneous trip, due to that it got me thinking and I ended up making a large bag that could fit a bunch of things that I would need on a trip. And I when I say a large bag, I mean a really large bag. To do this, I stripped the bag any of linings or interfacing. Because of this the bag can be made within one hour!

Sharon Bag

The Sharon Bag (and it's 2 variations) is the perfect companion for your trip to yoga, gym, or even for swimming and other wet conditions if made with water proof fabric. The two size variations provides you with the choice depending on your needs - large traveling bag or a light companion!

And the best of all? It's free! For all previous buyers and new buyers, check our our free patterns here. The iThinkSew free pattern library includes 17 patterns for all members and 15 more for any buyers. Check it out now!

Jacqueline Bag

The Jacqueline Bag also comes in two size variations and is a project best suited for beginners. Other than zippers, the pattern does not require any special materials so it is perfect for new sewers. I would recommend using fabric with basic geometric designs and a simple leather tag for a simple yet modern bag.

Items for the Spring!

It's started to get warmer here! Although no where near the levels of summer yet, the weather has become so nice it's become a waste to just let it pass. As such we've been busy at something appropriate for the season change. The Lacy Bag's fabric choices were deliberate in aiming to make a sleek spring look. The multiple pockets inside the bag make it a perfect companion for a storing numerous belongings in an organized fashion. I especially recommend the bag for mothers with baby's as it makes for a great diaper bag with the bag featuring a large and easy to use opening for quick access.

The Jody Baby Overalls were actually released before however was pulled for instruction and pattern revisions. Now they are ready for the spring season! Yet last week I received an inquiry regarding the state of the pattern. Although it was in the lower part of the totem for a long time, we decided to go ahead and complete the revision so we can release it! Please note that the pattern was featured in "Fabric by Fabric, One Yard Wonders: 101 Sewing Projects Using One Yard (2011)". If you own the book no need to purchase the pattern again!

Scandinavian Styled Bags!

Recently I have been occupied with making traditional dresses from all over the world. One of the most inspiring ones came from while researching through the Scandinavian style.While under this Scandinavian spell, I had made a trip to my local IKEA and a particular set of cushions just caught my eyes! Although the cushion itself was awesome, what caught my attention was the fabric. After the trip, I found myself surrounded by numerous cushions, blankets, and just plain fabrics.
