I’m very happy to be included as a designer for the Bag of the Month club (my design comes out in May and I’m already excited about it!). I’m not sure why it really is that I love bags. I think it’s mostly because that I’m really picky about them. Most store bought bags in my price range really don’t appeal to me (now a good leather bag, can’t ever turn that down), but I always felt like things weren’t just right. So why not make your own?!
I had to try out the first Bag, Sara of Sew Sweetness put together this fun Bye Bye Love bag. I really thought it would be a fun sew!
I had fun using the Soft And Stable
I used Essex Yarn Dyed Linen in black for the main body and another grey linen blend that I had picked up at the Sewcial Lounge last summer. I think they pair nicely together. The lining is Quilt Blocks by Ellen Luckett Baker and some new Catnap by Lizzy House.
I modified the strap connectors and flaps slightly just to suit my taste. And a little leather on the zipper pull seals the deal.
this looks great!! love the fabrics you picked out (as usual).
So clean and sleek! Love that you kept the prints inside as a secret surprise! Love the new block look too!!
darn you noodle-head! I want to be like you when I grow up! 🙂
That turned out great!!
This bag is wonderful!
It’s a very, very beautiful style work.
What a wonderful bag!
I like the grey outside and the yellow inside very much!

Wow Anna what a stunning bag!! It’s perfection!
Wow! What a gorgeous bag! Love the fabrics.
Your bag is beautiful. The simple colours, zip and pattern alterations that you used really sell it well! I can’t wait to see your design 🙂
Very cool bag!
Love this! I never seem to pick sophisticated fabrics
Love your bag. Your fabric selections are perfect and I can see myself carrying this (just in case you decide you don’t like it).
Oh it’s great! Love the fabric selection as always (can’t go wrong with YDB) and love the way the bag opens up when you unzip it. Cool stuff.
wonderful!
Just beautiful, I love it.
I’ve still to sew mine but I will do it even if it means I end up doing two bags in February. I’m really looking forward to yours.
It’s beautiul, such attention to detail! Please can you tell me a bit about Soft and Stable when you have time, don’t think we get it here.
Your fabric selections are always spot on!
Love this bag. Just beautiful
Hi Anna
Nic from Australia here. Can you tell me where you got your zipper and is it a seperating zipper ( like for a jacket) or doesn’t it matter? Cheers
Really pretty!
My daughter has a bag that look very similar, I didnt want to pay the price she paid so I traced the shape of her bag to someday make myself one. I love your bag. I decided I will make mine by mothers day as a gift to myself
