This week, you will be choosing your fabric. Then, cut out all of your fabric and attach it to the interfacing. This week’s task will take you up to Step #4 in the pattern instructions.
I’m looking forward to seeing what fabrics you’ve selected for your bag!
When you have finished up to Step #4, snap a quick photo of your progress (your photo can be either of your fabric choice, or your pieces cut out and attached to interfacing). Enter you photo below to be eligible for a randomly-drawn $50 gift certificate to www.sewsweetness.com! You have until March 16, 2024 to enter your photo.
Please enter your own photo in the link tool below so your fellow sewists can see your beautiful work! Please email me if you need assistance ([email protected]).
Random winner will be chosen after March 16, 2024 out of all entries received. The winners for Week 1 are #6 Jaye and #48 Susan.

I’m sew going to try to be part of the sew along!!
Yay! Thank you Aileen!
I can’t seem to find the sew along or today’s live social Sunday show. I’ve been trying since before 8 pm and it’s now 7;15 and for some odd reason I cannot find the live show. I’m so upset ☹️
Hi Rosa! The show is live in 18 minutes (7pm CT): https://www.youtube.com/user/sewsweetness
Help please, I’m confused. I thought there was a video to go along with the sew along on the Sweetbay crossover. Guess I should have bought the video too.
Hi Darlene! I don’t have any additional video content for the sew along (besides the video that is available for purchase). Thank you!
Thank you Sara! I sent you an email about this also so just trash my email. Lol. I will purchase your video as I am a visual learner. Can’t wait to get started. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with this old bag lady.
I am excited to give it a whirl! Bags are a challenge to me.
You got this Joyce!!
Is this where we post our pics of progress?
Hi Debbi! Yes, this is it. There is a sentence in the blog post that reads “Click here to enter your link”
I’m cutting out the Sweetbay mini but just wondering if you were making this for a 10 year old, how long would you cut the strap out?
Hi Angela, I checked my bag strap adjusted down to the shortest possible and I think it would still be appropriate for a 10-year-old. Thank you!
Perfect, thank you!
Hi Sara, working on the sew along. I’m ready to upload my wk 2 photo. Will there be an additional link for wk 2? Or do we add them the the wk 1 link? Thank you and love the new patterns! Thanks for all your help along the way 🙂
Hi Rebecca! Here is the post for Week 2 – https://sewsweetness.com/2024/03/sweetbay-mini-crossbody-bag-sew-along-week-2.html Thank you!
