New in Store - 22nd January 2017

Lots has been happening this week, all of the bag hardware and zippers that I have had on order arrived on Wednesday. I have been busy packaging up and listing new stock on the website. I also have a couple of new mail order clubs ready to go.


Bag Club 2017 - receive a bag kit every 2 months for a year (6 bags total).
Feature Fabric Club - receive two pieces of feature fabric every month.

I've often had requests for gunmetal black bag hardware but it is really hard to source. The good news is that Emmaline Bags now has a small range of gunmetal hardware. I have the 25mm (1") slide adjusters and d-rings in stock now. I'll be getting the hooks, rivets and metal bag labels in my next order. There are also a few new items available in gold as well.


Have you seen the Clover Convertible Backpack by Blue Calla Patterns? It is the January Pattern for the Bag of the Month PDF Pattern Club and it looks pretty awesome :) 
You can sign up for the pattern club here: Bag of the Month Club.
If you are in need of hardware for this pattern I have hardware kits available over on the website in Silver and Antique Brass.

New in Store - 26th November 2016

Due to popular demand I am now stocking a selection of gold coloured bag hardware, there is more to come but for the moment this is the full selection. If you have a request for a particular product that you require in gold please let me know and I will see what I can do.

Rivets are now available in a new size, these ones have a 6mm cap and a 6mm long stem. They are suitable for the Necessary Clutch Wallet if you prefer a smaller head on your rivets.

There is now a new section on the website for pre-cut fabrics, this is where I will be adding any charm packs, layer cakes or jelly rolls. A few have been added to the website and there are a few random ones available in store that won't be added to the site.

New in Store - 6th November 2016

This week I would like to introduce a new bag designer to my store, Lisa from Two Pretty Poppets. Lisa is an Australian designer and she has 11 patterns in print format. I have all of them available on the website and in store, I can't wait to get in and make some samples of these super cute looking patterns. 

We also had bagmaking supplies from Emmaline Bags and You Sew Girl arrive this week and next week I will have a large shipment of hardware from Hong Kong arriving as well. So 'almost' everything will be back in stock again.  I have already sold out of Style B frames from Emmaline but I will be getting more in again hopefully in two weeks. 

I have had some requests for gold coloured bag hardware, specifically the strap anchors but if there is anything that you really would like me to stock in gold please let me know and I will see what I can do.

New in Store - 10th July 2016

This week the remainder of the very funky Keep On Groovin' collection from Riley Blake Designs arrived in store. I love the colours and retro design of this range, a must for any kombi lover :)
The latest pattern from Funky Friends Factory is also now in store. Sparkles is a shy little Seahorse who is spends the day playing hide & seek in the sea grass. She has lots of little bits so this pattern isn’t recommend for beginners.
I have gotten a bit behind schedule with listing bag interfacing and hardware kits because I was sick the last few weeks, this week I started listing them again. The Sew Serendipity Madison Wallet Bag interfacing kit and hardware kits all available in store and online. Also available is the Sew Sweetness Ansel Camera Bag interfacing and hardware kit, the buckles in the hardware kit are available in several colours as well as black.

New in Store - 26th June 2016

I've been a bit under the weather this week but I have done my best to get a few new items up on the website. I have some new bag bling from Emmaline Bags including metal edge trim and new oval bag handles that screw on instead of using prongs making them much more secure. The very popular blood platter fabric from Robert Kaufman has also come back into stock, this one usually sells out pretty fast so be quick so you don't miss out.
Last week mesh fabric came back into stock with a couple of new colours. If you are unfamiliar with this product it is great for adding pockets to bags and organisers that are slightly stretchy and allows you to see what is inside. If you are on the look out for a pattern that utilises the mesh there are several good ones from Patterns by Annie available now.

New in Store - 28th September 2015

This week we received our first 3 rolls of Tula Pinks new Freefall range, these fabrics are 274cm (108") wide. It feel like cotton sateen but they are actually cotton with a chintz coating that is polished down so it has a bit of a sheen. Freefall is perfect to use as quilt backings, cushions, dresses and bags. I have the other 3 colours on order so hopefully they aren't too far away.

We now have the 40mm (1-1/2") polypropylene bag webbing in 3 new colours bringing the total colours available up to 6 (white, gold, red, royal blue, navy blue and black).

We have also received a new shipment of patterns from Serendipity Studios and premium solids from Northcott fabrics.

New in Store - 25 October 2014

This week we have received a few more designs from the Robert Kaufman Classic Horror Films collection including blood splatter on white and a horror movie poster panel. These are great designs for any last minute Halloween crafting or to be stored until next year ;)

We have a couple of new Riley Blake Knit fabrics including a cute little owl floral. This single knit jersey is a quality 95% cotton/5% spandex mix with great recovery and non pilling.

For anyone who was waiting for any Sewline or You Sew Girl Patterns or Bag Hardware we have just received a new shipment of these as well. Speaking of bag hardware we have been able to source coloured webbing, we have 38mm navy blue to start with, please let us know if you have any colours that you would like and we will do our best to get them in.

Pattern Test Drive - The City Bag by You Sew Girl

Sadly it is time to retire our La Virgencita You Sew Girl City Bag sample, it has served us well but we have been sold out of this fabric for a while now and I wanted to try a new interfacing combination on a new one.


This new version is more vibrant and features Spot On Pindot Cardinal Red combined with a panel of Vintage Scrapbook Paris Fashion Black on the front and back. The city bag is fairly easy to sew with the trickiest part being inserting the zipper on the curved top of the bag. Even this isn't too difficult as Nicole's patterns alway have very good instructions and photos to guide you through all of the steps.


The finished bag is approximately 30cm (11-7/8") x 34cm (13-1/2") x 10cm (4") excluding the strap. The pattern includes instructions for adding both a zippered pocket (above) and compartment pocket (below) in the lining, you can never have too many pockets in a bag :)


Hardware
Hardware is optional for the strap on this bag but it always makes the finished bag look more professional. This bag features an adjustable strap by using a Slide AdjustersSwivel Snap Hook and a D-Ring.


Interfacing
On the La Virgencita City Bag I used Vilene S320 interfacing on its own with no wadding. While the S320 gave the bag a good structure it felt a bit too cardboardy for my liking. This time I have used S320 again but I have also added a layer of H630 wadding which softens the finish a bit as well as providing more structure. S320 is also fused to the strap which is 4 layers thick once it has been folded and topstitched. The result is a thin but sturdy strap that doesn't feel like it is going to break once you fill the bag with all of your stuff.


If you would like to recreate this bag here are the materials that have been used:
