New Pattern: Round Shoulder Bag

New Pattern: Round Shoulder Bag

JM401 - Round Shoulder Bag

This pretty round bag comes in two sizes, and both sit nicely on your shoulder. The darts make it roomy, but there's an inside pocket to keep your necessities close at hand. The top flaps are held closed with a magnetic snap.

This intermediate sewing pattern includes 5 pages of illustrated instructions and full-sized computer-generated pattern pieces that you can print at home.


You can buy the pattern on my website as an instant download, or on Etsy if you prefer.

Quilting


quilting fabric, originally uploaded by jordynnmackenzie.


I tagged along to Brockville, Ontario last weekend with Aidan. He was doing his job.. you know juggling fire, balancing things on his face. I was just there for moral support and because I wanted a road trip.

What I wasn't expecting to find was this cute little fabric store that specialized in quilting called Picket Fence Fabrics. I bought these very nice prints from their fat quarter and half-quarter bins. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to make with them yet, but I think that I'd like to make a quilt.

My grandmother was a quilter and I can remember always being in awe of the things she'd make for us. I wish I could have shared my sewing/crafting/making enthusiasm with her just a little more.

Does anyone have any quilt patterns or books I should check out? I think I'll hit up the library and see what's available before I decide on what size/shape/pattern to make.
