The final instalment in my bag series is The Boxy Bag.
This one was gifted to my mum on Mother's Day earlier this year. |
I use stiff denim for these bags, because it holds the wonderful boxy structure.
This pattern came about almost by accident! It's actually taken from the Modern Maud pattern template and I had a moment earlier this year of 'I wonder what would happen if I did this ....' and so the Boxy Bag was born!
My mum uses hers for transporting her books around. They are bigger than those trendy 'lunch box' style bags that you see about, and are v.sturdy.
A stylish yet practical bag.
Well I hope you've enjoyed my wee bag series. In a few weeks time these lovelies (& more) will be destined for my sister's salon, hopefully to find new owners!
Have a fab Friday!
Today's favourite with me is the one with the red and the ricrac. You are producing a fantastic selection of bags to sell and I am sure these will look great in the shop.
ReplyDeleteHave you the patterns typed up yet?? I want to buy the pattern for 'Joanie'! x
ReplyDeleteCertainly looks robust but stylish too with the contrasting top and button! Tres chic!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the red one! That button is ginormous! And so cute :-)
ReplyDeleteI really did like your series. They're beautiful! I really like the little red and white one. Super cute!
ReplyDeleteYep, get on with marketing the patterns girl!
ReplyDeleteOh this may be my favourite! I love the one you gave to your mum, is it Liberty? So adorable :)
ReplyDeleteLovely bag shape! I particularly like the last one for your Mum. Love that Liberty pattern!
ReplyDeleteLovely :-)
ReplyDelete:) Now boxy bag is not quite my fave, but it could be just the thing for a BIG makeover! I do love the one you made for your mum!
ReplyDeleteYou already know I love these bags. The denim is great with bright accent fabrics. Hope all your fabulous bags have happy new owners soon and your little cash register is kerching-ing away
ReplyDeleteOooo, you are one clever lady! The denim looks great, and those buttons....oooOooooo I like them too :)
ReplyDeleteYes , I think the red one is my favourite one. They are all lovely. Good luck with this venture.
ReplyDeleteYour bags are all fantastic - good luck keeping up with supplying stock to your sister, you are going to be busy!
ReplyDeleteCan't decide between the red one and the blue one - maybe I need both!! Where do you get your stiff denim from or is it reclaimed? Please tell me you're going to think about selling patterns through your blog...
ReplyDeleteFun, but practical sturdy shoppers
ReplyDeleteYour bags are georgous. I am sure that they will fly off the shelf. Hope the venture is successful. You've inspired me to make myself a bag for winter. BTW I love your blog.
ReplyDeleteLove these so much. You can never have too many totes. Every one that I have is better for one purpose or another. Thanks for sharing.
