Rainbow Hexagon Drawstring Bag


Who doesn't love a bit of bag making, one of my favourite things to do, keeps e busy, keeps me sane, and you could always do with another bag for something or other!

A popular design in new fabrics (as happens a lot round here)
loving this colour combination for such a handy bag.
with 6 outer pockets around the hexagon base, a handy bag for crafty bits, makeup, a wash bag, baby bag, whatever you want it for.
available in kit form from my Etsy shop here take a look at all the other great kits on offer.


a great bag to make, its 12" tall so a decent size and not too difficult so suitable for intermediate sewers.
also good for beginner's with guidance, i am always on hand to help.

The Hobby Bag


The Hobby Bag

I designed this bag a few years ago, its a very popular kit, and the reason for so many fabric changes.

 Its the perfect size for on the go project bag, I have quite a few of these bags hanging around lol, with projects in waiting to be picked up and just taken on an outing, a crochet project to meet the crochet girls for lunch out and couple of hours crochet after in our favourite cafe.
One has all my sewing threads in, another has an applique quilt project in
people have used them as make up bags and baby bags, whatever you want it to be for.

and now its in the hedgehog fabrics, love it

Another couple of remakes in new fabrics, 

the hobby bag and the medium drawstring tote, both popular bags that i have had to remake with new fabrics.

the hobby bag is a great size for the smaller craft project, or for a take out bag.

i use mine for all my sewing threads, so when i go out i just pick it up and go.

Lets Sew It


this gorgeous little drawstring tote, i just love this one,  can be used as a hand bag, a lunch bag, its great for whatever you need, just love it, this also comes in a ballerina fabric for the little girls.

 

New fabric remakes for these designs.
a very popular design.
i have so many of these project bags, great for out and about not just crafting although i use them for crochet projects so i can leave then in the bag until the item is finished.

available to buy in kit form from Lets Sew It

   

i also revisited this workshop from a few years ago, new sewing machine, get to have a go with all those wonderful stitches, this is the perfect project to do that.

Kiddies Drawstring bag

Just love the spotty fabrics and they go so well with so many others, 
the robot and the Dino ones too, 
a couple of quick makes here and great bags for all sorts of things, an overnight bag for a trip to grandmas, toys, secret stash, washing !


with 2  pull strings so it closes nicely and doesn't work itself open again.
there is a kit available for these with full instructions.

christmas sewing

Trying to get things done and ready for workshops over November and December but lockdown # 2 has sorted that out

just loving these advent stockings, gift bags and advent pockets, easy to make and super cute.

while locked away I'm trying to get some new designs done and written up while battling the low mood it has put me in, we will get through this lol and come out stronger on the other side!

just hoping to be able to do one of my planned workshops in December, fingers crossed.

Sewing Machine mats

I decided i wanted to freshen up the sewing cabin so have made some new sewing machine mats, 3 so far and 1 more to do so that when i finish the alterations to the cabin and we can fit 3 sewers in we all have a mat for our machines.

just a simple design and not big mats with limited space i just wanted them under the machines so that cutting mats can be next to each machine.

mmm just reminded me i need to get some new table cloths!
