Today I’m joining in the fun and giving away 6 pdf patterns of one lucky winner’s choice from my pattern shop! For those of you who aren’t familiar with my patterns, they all include easy to follow, step by step instructions and lots of photos to help along the way. My patterns range from beginner to advanced and with lots of different styles and types of bags.
Some of my patterns include:
The Park West Bag
This large bag is great for holding a lot of stuff! There are side pockets on the exterior of the bag, and a lining zippered pocket on the inside. With pretty handle detailing for your straps and a recessed zipper closure at the top of the bag, you will be stepping out in style!
The Lapin Noir Bag
This bag converts from a handled tote to a large carry-all, with a cell phone pocket and enough pockets inside and out to keep your most important items within easy reach. The handles are corded and covered in fabric, with pretty knots at each end, and the long strap is attached to the bag with fun swivel clips. If you’re looking for a bag to showcase your favorite fabric print, this is it!
The Peas and Corn Lunch Bag
These insulated lunch bags are the perfect break to the day! Included in the pattern are two different styles of lunch bags(a rounded lunch bag for the intermediate sewist, and a top zip lunch bag for the advanced sewist). Whether you make them for a child or an adult, they are just the right size to fit a sandwich, several snacks, and a drink. Also included in the instructions are zippered snack bags in two different sizes – one for snacks, and another for a sandwich!
The Edelweiss Bag
This fabulous bag can be made as either a backpack or a cross-body bag! There are pretty flap pockets on the front, as well as both a zip closure and flap at the top of the bag. With an inner zipper pocket, you’ll have lots of places to store the essentials that you need to keep within easy reach!
The Locked and Loaded Bag
This lovely bag is round and large enough for all of your essentials! The bag features an adjustable strap, inner zippered pocket, and the icing on the cake is the metal twist lock, which is easy to insert with a little dab of fabric glue! You’ll just love the functionality of it!
The Rockstar Bag
My newest pattern, The Rockstar bag is medium-sized bag is full of great detailing. It has a top zipper closure and both a short handle and a long cross-body strap. With an outer flap pocket and two inner zippered pockets, you will have plenty of storage space to keep all of your essentials. Although the piping is optional, it definitely gives things an extra kick! The bag has an edgy zipper on the outer flap, and you can make it rockstar-worthy with some optional rivets.
I just got the Aragon pattern to make a diaper bag for my daughter. Can’t wait to get started.
I was privileged to test your Park West bag pattern. I can’t say enough great things about your pattern making skills. I am AWED by you. My finished bag is mistaken by most people as a store-bought bag. I’m proud to carry the Park West bag!
If I could sit down and sew bags today, I would pick the Edelweiss and Velocity Girl. Of course, tomorrow, I may choose something else!
I say Dot Dot Dash. It’s still on my list to make 🙂
So many to choose from! I do think I need to make the Accordion Bag, the Lock and Loaded Bag, the Park West bag, the Camp Stitchalot Bag, and … Hard to choose just one.
I really like the wallet trio and the train cases!
I really love the Piccadilly Circus bag I just finished, would make it again in a heartbeat.
I need The Rockstar Bag!! It looks like a fun make!
That rockstar bag is a great make Shanniloves! You seriously need to go ahead and buy it and give it a whirl. Very easy and quick make and if you’ve never made tour own piping, DO give Sara’s tute a try as it’s the easiest piping I’ve ever made using her technique!
I like the Rockstar Bag the best! 🙂
Wow! They all look wonderful, but right this minute, I am particularly drawn to Bye Bye Love and Dot Dot Dash. Then I also am drooling over Edelweiss, Accordian, and The Rock Star. Actually I love the range of patterns you offer. Cannot choose just one.
The Park West bag, is just one.
That is a tough question because I love so many. The Aragon bag is my go-to overnighter though, so I guess if I had to choose, I would pick that one.
The Patchwork Avenue bag has been my favorite (because it was so easy!), but I really would love to try the Peas and Corn lunch set. I’m also rather fond of the train cases–can’t wait to make one!
Paparazzi bag. I am getting a new-to-me camera soon and I am wanting to use some of my favorite fabrics to make a special bag!
I just love the AEROPLANE BAG
What a great giveaway! For me I think it is tied between the Rockstar Bag and the Dot Dot Dash bag. I just made your zippered flap bag from Stitch magazine, and I like the same flap on the Rockstar bag!
I like them all! You can’t make me pick just one 🙂
Hi Sara…I like all the bags, but especially like the look of the Edelweiss Bag!
Lately I have been drawling over your Rockstar bag! I do love the Aragon too though. Rafflecopter please pick me!!!!
I like the Petrillo Bag.
I must say, this really is hard to choose one, but just one it is so I choose the Aragon Bag. I love the size and shape of it. In my dreams though I would have to make the wallets and a lunch bag to coordinate
I’ve been admiring your gorgeous bags FOREVER!!! I would be thrilled to win this wonderful package of patterns – and I really do need a couple of new bags for some traveling I’m planning this winter 🙂
I love Locked and Loaded. The shape is so great! Thanks!
I love all of them, but I think my favorite is the Aragon. Thanks!
The Petrillo bag for sure- such a unique design and so easy to put together.
With love from Denmark. I love all of them
I love all of Sara’s patterns and can’t wait to take another class w/you at one of my guilds early next year. Can’t wait to see the train case pattern!
I loved all of them! Would love to try the Locked and Loaded. IT looks like the perfect bag for one of my clients.
Too hard to narrow down to just one! Today my favorite would be the peas and corn lunch bags pattern. I would love to make a few for my awesome 4 year old niece and 10 year old nephew!!
Love the Aragon Bag!!
Thanks for the chance to win!!
I love that Lunch bag pattern!
Love the rockstar bag!
I have lots of favorites, but my most favorite is from your book, Big City Bags. I just love The Honeymooner Suitcase. I don’t have it completed yet, but I will one day. Thank you, Sara!
Park West is my favorite, but also really like Rockstar and Aragon. So many nice designs.
Sorry, but there is no way I can narrow it down to just one!! But I’ll try to keep it to 3, okay? 😉
1. Petrillo Bay
2. Peas and Corn lunch bags
3. Dot Dot Dash bag.
Seriously, though, there are * at least* 8 more bags that I would LOVE to make! This isn’t lip service either. I really enjoy your patterns!
I do like the look of the Rockstar bag.
I’m dying to make some crimson and clover bags!
The Soda Pop Bag. All the grommets are such a fun detail.
The ROCKSTAR BAG ! Def a great pattern. Easy to follow and fast and looks great, though I’m going to try one at a slightly reduced size next time.
My favourite is the Aragon bag.
I would love to try the Aragon bag, the train cases, and the lunch bags. Thanks for the chance to win!

I can’t decide between the Aragon bag or the Aeroplane bag, they both look great and very roomy. x
Lapin Noir. I love the handles!
I just love the shape and size of the bye bye love bag, but the aeroplane bag is very tempting too!
I love all of your bags, so it would be difficult to pick, but I love the looks of the Rockstar and Lapin Noir bags

I forget the exact name, but I adore the Bowling Bag from your book
Rockstar Bag is my fave so far. Although I have plenty of close second choices!

I like the Petrillo bag! Tried out the greenbacks pattern while snowed in last winter and Love them.
I have many of the Sew Sweetness bag patterns and that’s why I will love to win more. They are very well made and you get great results. If I had to pick just one as my favorite I’ll say the Edelweiss Backpack.
I’m thinking the Rockstar bag … it looks modern and fun!
I love the Aragon Bag and the Petrillo Bag!!
I’ve made several of Sara’s bags and love them all. The one I’ve used the most is the Petrillo Bag. My daughter loves her Edelweiss backpack, too — it holds all her high school essentials. Thanks for the giveaway!
I always use a backpack, so my pick is the Edelweiss bag! But I also love the Aragorn bag!
I am loving the rock star bag Sara! Please, can you tell me what the fabric is that you used in the picture? Newsprint with a deer? Gotta gotta gotta have it!
I like serveral of Saras bags
I really like the Aragon bag!
I’ve used two of Sara’s patterns, and find them clear and specific–no head-scratching going on! The hints she gives are most helpful as well. And the finished product is great! I hope to use more of Sara’s patterns in the near future, and would love to win them. 🙂
Crimson and Clover! I’m making one now! 🙂
I like your Train Cases best!
I like all the different bags….what a lovely variety!!!

That Edelweiss bag looks awesome.
Love the Greenbacks Wallet Trio and the Dot Dot Dash bag. They all look pretty awesome. Thanks for the giveaway.
wow, which ONE is my favorite??? there are so many to choose from that having only one favorite is hard, but I’m tossing up between the Park West Bag and and Peas and Corn Lunch Bags 🙂
There are several of your bags I love, but the top two are ByeBye Love and Locked and Loaded.
I’d love to make the aeroplane bag!
I love that Locked and Loaded, just my style.
All of your bag patterns look super! Well, I guess if you want me to narrow it down to one, then the Park West Bag would definitely be the one.
