Just checking in for the Ava Bag Sew Along (if you haven’t joined in, it’s not too late! click here!). A lot of you have already e-mailed me to request the 20% off discount code for Quilt Home; I’d love it if you’d pop over to the Flickr Group and post your fabric choices! I’m anxious to see what everyone is using. 🙂 While you’re there, you can also post any questions or feedback you have about the pattern along the way – we’re here to help each other!
Trish from Two Peas in a Pod Designs, who designed this bag pattern, added a helpful little tidbit: “I made the pocket lining (the outside pocket) a little bigger so the seam fell to the front of the bag to peek out for some interest.” This is just optional, of course! Or you can add cording, or a strip of fabric (as I did when I made my Ava Bag.
And finally, if you won’t be able to participate in the Ava Bag sew along, check out my Summer Sew Along Calendar for some more sew along fun. I will probably be fitting some clothing in…I just ordered a cute top pattern, so I’ll let you know after I try it out. 😉
I just ordered the pattern yesterday – finally gave in! Hoping I can get this bag done by the end of the month but I have to finish a king sized quilt for my dad first… so many crafts, so little time 🙂
i finally picked my fabrics and expect to finish on time.
