I am really excited to announce a new sew along that kicks off next week. My friend Christen at Love by Hand has organized a Weekender Sew Along with Nicole at Modern Handcraft and myself!
I made my very first Weekender bag earlier this year and I love it! I decided to piece all my pockets and then quilt them before assembling my bag and I plan to make my next one in a similar fashion and would love it if you'd join us.
Here's our schedule of events:
Wed. April 30 - Planning - Fabrics & Materials
Wed. May 7 - Cutting, Interfacing, Making the Panels
Wed. May 14 - Sewing the Outer Bag Together
Wed. May 21 - Finishing the Bag & Link Up
Wed. May 28 - Winners Announced
And with any Sew Along, of course there will be prizes! We are excited to be sponsoring along with some other great companies - which will be formally announced next week. :)
If you need the pattern, you can snag one here (and at 15% off now through 4/30/14)!
Off to plan my new bag ....
Happy Sewing! :-)
I am looking forward to giving this bag a try. Do you carry a mid-weight home dec fabric?
ReplyDeleteI love your "pieced" pocket Amy Butler bag! I don't do Instragram, so will you be posting the steps on this blog? I just ordered the pattern, and I have heard it is a bit tricky to put together. I would love your assistance in making one similar to yours. Thanks so much! Nettie
ReplyDeleteI hope I can join in! What fun and that "gentle nudge" I need to get started and make mine! I LOVE your first Weekender bag!! It is stunning!

Awesome! I started this a while ago, only got to cutting the fabric though!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to sew along, I absolutely love this bag!
Where can I buy the zipper???
ReplyDeleteSo I am going to cut out my pieces, the large pocket, main panel, an end pocket panels, sandwich between batting and a back fabric, quilt...correct? Do I need to add to the size for quilting?
