New! Sublime Bag Sewing Pattern

Today is pattern release day, and February is the month for my pattern! I’m so happy to introduce you to the Sublime Bag sewing pattern!

While I made my sample version in cotton fabric by Cotton+Steel and Jeans Blue cork fabric from my shop, instructions are for either cotton fabric or vinyl – I wanted to make sure you had as many options as possible as far as fabric goes. I had fully intended to have a free video available today on how to sew with cork fabric, but I had a few projects come up unexpectedly which impeded the progress on the video, so I will get that video up as soon as I possibly can.

This edgy bag features front diagonal zippers and unique accents on the front and back of the bag. Make the bag with front handles (no purse hardware needed!), or add a small bit of purse hardware to add an optional side strap. The bag has multiple pockets on the exterior and in the lining.

Finished Size: 13-1/2” long x 10-1/2” high x 4-1/2” deep

I absolutely couldn’t wait to start using this bag – it’s been sitting in my sewing room all month waiting for beauty shots to be taken before I made it my new everyday bag, for fear of getting a huge stain on the front before I was able to photograph it (because that would totally happen to me). Literally 30 seconds after I finished taking the last photograph, my cell phone and wallet were already inside and had taken up permanent residence.

The front zippered pocket is one continuous space, and there is a zippered pocket in the lining as well as as accordion pocket with two separate spaces (one space is the perfect size to hold a cell phone). The bag can be made with just front handles (which means no purse hardware required!), or you can add a small bit of purse hardware and add a side strap.

If you’d like to give cork fabric a try for this bag, I have about 60 different varieties currently available and offer flat rate shipping to the U.S. and Canada (and I do ship worldwide). Check out cork fabric here.

  3. Hillary says:

    Wow – I think I’m going to order some cork and zippers and copy your sample. This is absolutely stunning.

  4. Diane says:

    Is a single piece of 18 ” x 54″ piece of cork fabric big enough to use as the accent fabric? Is there a tutorial on making bag straps out of cork? This would be my first time using cork.

    1. Reece says:

      I made mine with a single 18″ x 54″ piece, and even though I didn’t make a cross-body strap, I would have had enough to make one as well.

  5. Dawn J says:
