Cool Fabrics from Japan

This is the Tonia Mini Moto Bag pattern, made with Essex linen and Harry Potter fabric. It can snap onto your belt loops for a hands free little bag. It will be hanging in my booth at Quiltcon, if I can get it away from the kid! . . . #carriedawaypatterncollective #swoonpatterns #swoontonia #essexlinen #robertkaufman #robertkaufmanfabric #harrypotter #harrypotterfabric #bagineer #handmadebag #imakebags

This is the first time I've tried this pattern. It's the 241 Tote pattern from @noodlehead531 - a nice, simple small-ish bag. I added a layer of foam cause I'm not a slouchy bag person. This is made with all @robertkaufman fabric - Essex linen, Driftless fabric, and waxer canvas on the pockets. . . #noodleheadpatterns #241tote #driftlessfabric #waxercanvas #bagineer #bagmaker #imakebags #handmadebag #essexlinen #robertkaufmanfabric

A Super Tote on a rainy day. I used some super cute Kokka fabric combined with cotton linen from Moda. I interfaced the exterior and the lining, and added a layer of fusible fleece for a less floppy bag. Swipe for a close-up of the feature fabric. And, if you are flying anywhere on cheap-o Spirit Airlines, this bag packs an entire weekend worth of clothes, and is within the size for a personal item, so no bag fee! . . . #kokkafabric #supertote #noodleheadpatterns #noodleheadsupertote #bagineer #bagmaker #imakebags #japanesefabric

When I went to Quilt Market, I visited the booth from @hansenprintandtex - I absolutely fell in love with the Millenial Girls line from @jeninuferu and I bought a fat quarter bundle with no plan in mind. Then....I find out that they are being distributed in the US, and I've placed an order for some of my favorites. This line is SO wonderful! Should be arriving in March-ish, so if you would like notice when it's in, sign up for our mailing list! . . . . #millenialgirlsfabric #jenniferbouron #urbansewfabricshop #organicfabric #millenialgirls

My #topnine2019 - no handmade clothing, no fabric. Just bags, pouches, and Julia's handmade necklace. I need to sew more clothes this year! Thanks for following along with my sewing life, and here's to a great, productive 2020! . . . #essentialpouch #topnine #swoonpatterns #sotakpatterns #urbansewfabricshop

Christmas gifts headed out the door this morning...this is an Essential Pouch for my Toronto Raptors fan. The fabric is from Fabricland, waterproofed with Odicoat. Hoping he will like it! (I have more of this fabric, so dm me if you'd like to purchase one...after the holidays!) . . #essentialpouch #sotakpatterns #sotakhandmade #handmadepouch #bagineer #torontoraptors #raptorsfan #handmadechristmas

Another Cora Handbag using cotton linen canvas from @rubystarsociety - this pattern, from @sotakhandmade takes only a half a yard of feature fabric, which makes it a great pattern for any special fabric you may be hoarding. And, no hardware! . . #bagineer #handmadebag #sotakpatterns #sotakhandmade #rubystarsociety #rubystarsocietyfabric #bagmaker #bagmaking
