A little char-cutie upcycle 🧀🥨🫒 I dusted off the sewing machine when I found this pattern online and I love how it turned out! I worked on it while listening to Gods & Monsters this last week while I was under the weather. Pattern: Bestie Bag by @bfpatterns #sewingprojects #crossbodybags

Everyday essentials bag 👜 Used Bosal In-R-Form fusible foam in this one to add a lot of structure. It’s quite difficult to work with on my small machine, best to cut it with in the seam allowance. Gave the desired result though. All credit for the pattern goes to @stuarthillardmakes Make 100 Bags book. Nice pattern thank you 🪡 #sewersgonnasew #sewist #bagmaker #bagmaking #isewbags

I finally made the #BFBestieBag! 🤍 I am so late to the party with this make, but better late than never, right? 😆 Fun to sew? ✅ Small amount of fabric? ✅ Holds everything you need? ✅ I love my Bestie! The Bestie Bag pattern is from @bfpatterns, which is my sewing bestie Caroline’s pattern company! 🥰 We host @lovetosew.podcast together and so it is practically a sin that I have not made this pattern sooner. 🤦‍♀️ But as I said . . . late to the party but I’m here now! Of course I had to use some @blackbirdfabrics fabric for this project and I even chose one of their custom printed cotton twills. I love their custom print collections and this black and white daisy print had my name all over it. 🌼 You know I love a bold black and white fabric! I am also wearing this same fabric in a different print in my leopard #SpindriftJacket and I love it for that, too. 🐆 The weight of this fabric is good for Bestie but just to beef it up a bit, I added some medium weight weft interfacing to all the pieces. I like how it added structure but the bag is still soft. I went with the medium size with no pleat for this one. That is the smaller size from the base pattern. I chose the tie strap and I love it! 🎀 I have not adjusted it at all since making it, I just tied it at the right spot for me and I left it there. 💁‍♀️ You could adjust it though, and that is a nice feature. For the lining I could not resist a high contrast fabric and so I went with a hot pink cotton poplin. 💕 It is so bright and cheerful! I do enjoy a great lining and bags are such a perfect project for playing around with fun interiors. I prefer bright solid colours for my lining because it helps me find things. 🧐 I can fit everything I need in here! Even a water bottle. 10/10 would sew Bestie again! Thanks for watching! 😘 #HelensCloset #HelensClosetPatterns [Image Description: 1) A short series of video clips of Helen on a foggy beach showing off the Bestie Bag she made.

Have wanted to make a pretty project bag for my knitting/crochet/embroidery projects since forever....especially because I am always taking them with me when I leave the house. Obsessed with quilted fabric and the trim was perfect to cover some interesting stitching lines 😅🙊 Adored this pattern by @rosiecaldwellstudio and can't wait to make 50 more in different sizes and cutie fabrics! 💕💗😍 Was pretty easy and quick once the fabric was quilted. Only modification from the pattern was adding the trim and adding an extra, longer strap so I can wear it over my shoulder or crossbody 🙌👌 #rosiecaldwellpattern #quilteddrawstringbag #sewistsofinstagram #projectbag #memade

Reminiscing about these totes I made last summer 🙂‍↔️👜 #handmadetotebags #sewinginspo #sewingcontent #meggiesews
