Fun Stuff...

I've been doing a little 'fun sewing' lately and now it is time to spill a few beans. :-)  Jennie of Clover & Violet asked if I would test their new pattern~ the Stella bag....

It is marketed as a diaper bag~ but it is so much more!  My 12.5 inch ruler fits in it nicely~ and so does my small cutting/pressing mat. :-) Do you see where I am going with this? LOL It is the perfect quilt bag!  It has 6 outside pockets, and a few inside pockets~ one specifically for your cell phone. I like that!  :-)

It would also make an awesome sport bag~ it would easily hold your tennis racket, shoes, towel, water bottle.  Or how about a picnic bag? It could hold your quilt and accessories and you could have your food in the cooler.

I'm sure new Mom's would love this bag too~ lots of room for all baby's things! I well remember those days when it felt like you had to pack half the house to go on an overnight trip. The Stella bag will hold all the necessities. ;-)

The pattern is very well written, has good photo's to guide you and numbered steps. (I like that especially as I often get called away when I'm sewing and it helps me keep my place).

Here is my version~ done in all my Thimbleberries scraps. Since there are no wee ones in our house, it is my new take along bag for road trips... it holds all my stitching supplies, plus my wallet etc. And the sides cinch up nicely when I'm carrying less.

 I went out in the sunshine to capture a side shot~

Thanks for stopping by! Now head over to Clover & Violet and see the bags the other testers made~ (say hi from me too!) I'm thinking I will need to make a few more! ;-)  Be sure to look around if it is your first visit~ they recently posted a free lunch bag pattern and it is on my list. ;-) LOL

Happy Stitchin'!
