Well I had to make something! When I got home from Quilt Market I of course felt relief, I can sew anything I want! As I was cleaning up the wreckage left behind from quilt market prep, I found this lowly fabric and pattern pull (Go Anywhere Bag) I had set aside months ago. You all must know that I don’t need another bag. I have more than plenty, but this fabric just screamed bag! Hopefully it’ll find its way to a home soon (thinking Citizens of Textile perhaps?).
Anyway, this is the gorgeous canvas print from Yoyogi Park by one of my all time favorite designers – Skinny laMinx. It’s such a happy collection of colors!
So I paired it with a bit of gray (real original I know, ha!) and a little handmade piping. I used cotton canvas as the lining, I think it’ll be quite sturdy.
Thank you for reading along all these years. I’m getting back into the swing of regular blogging (I hope) now that my book is out. I miss being able to share something the minute I finish, and of course connecting with you all. I think sewing a few things just for the fun of it will help pull me out of this slump I feel I’m in. Plus – it’s almost summer!!
Pattern: Go Anywhere Bag
Fabric: Yoyogi Park, Carolyn Friedlander Doe, Robert Kaufman Yarn Dyed Essex in Graphite
Have a great weekend!
Sometimes the simplest of projects can help us get back into the rhythm of normality.
So pretty. I love your amazing design control, you know just what accents to add and when to stop and it shows in all your designs!
So, so lovely and sooooo beautiful photos!
Hugs Ines♥
Missed your blog posts… Glad to see you today at your creative place today.
And I just got your awesome book! I absolutely love what you wrote in the beginning about sewing, that is what I feel while creating. Thank you Anna. 🙂 You are very inspiring and beautiful!
I love this bag! The colors really go well together. I look forward to more blog posts.
Cute purse! And I love your book so much!!!! I’m trying to figure out what to make first!

Your bag is gorgeous as are your phogographs. (As always!) It was so nice to be able to hang out with you at market. Your booth looked amazing and your fabrics (and your book!) are beautiful! Congratulations on all of your new stuff! So proud of you. xo
So pretty! I made your Caravan pouch with a Yoyogi park print for my Mom for Mother’s Day. : ) It’s perfect fabric for bags. Congratulations on all you’ve accomplished!! It’s all so inspiring…you definitely deserve some free sewing time!
I’m sure there must be a natural letdown after so, so much energy has been spent on the book and getting to market. But I know I speak for many of us, we are so glad to have you back!! I mean you were here and did a great job, but now you’re Here! Like really! No agendas. Just start playing again, in fabríc and words – when and how you want. That’s what we enjoy 🙂
This one is a real beauty! The Yoyogi Park fabric is perfect for this bag pattern, so awesome.
Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us! You do such a great job putting fabrics together, i love seeing each project.
