Orchard Run, my newest collection with Robert Kaufman Fabrics, is arriving in shops any day now! I’m so excited to share all the sewn samples with you! You know I couldn’t resist making a Haralson Bag in Orchard Run!


I knew this clover print had to be a Haralson Bag. I seriously had a hard time making only one! There’s so many fun combinations to be had. I love using my Haralson for my everyday bag. It’s perfect for my season of life.

What fits?
I think a lot of people have a hard time envisioning what can fit in a Haralson bag, so I’m going to post in my Instagram stories a little walk through! But in case you miss it there, in my Haralson now I keep:
- my iphone in the back zippered pocket, plenty of room for an iphone Pro Max if needed
- sunscreen stick
- reusable shopping bag (my baggu from Carolyn!)
- mini size Minimalist Wallet
- key fob
- work keys
- sharpie (not sure why, but it’s there!), partially used kleexex (gross)
- in the interior zip pocket I keep my lip glosses and some business cards
- I also have room to put in my sunglasses if needed (I keep them in my car usually)
So there you go! Lots of the essentials!

*Orchard Run will be arriving in shops so soon! Yay! Be sure to check with your favorite shop! Or try an online search for “Anna Graham Orchard Run” or “Orchard Run Robert Kaufman” and check out the #OrchardRunFabric hashtag on Instagram. Can’t wait to see what you make!!!!

Anna is absolutely right! This is a GREAT bag. Room for all the essentials — cards, phone, cash — but no room for all the in-essentials that accumulate in bigger bags. I made 12 or so for friends & family who admired it. Universally loved & admired.
Thanks Beth! I am so thrilled you’ve enjoyed making them! That’s perfect!
Hi, I love this bag in the Orchard Run. What color did you use for the waxed twill flap? Thank You
Hi Kimberly! Sorry I didn’t specify that. I think it was Sage, Mushroom Brown, or Light Olive. I didn’t label them when I bought them, but those are a few that look pretty close.
