<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Happy Saturday, Sewists!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love petunias because they bloom their little hearts out</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">in the heat of summer or the cool of spring and fall.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I can always count on my petunias to greet me with glorious color.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This one is the blue star petunia.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've paired it with the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ANotion2Sew" target="_blank">By Annie Handbag zipper</a> in Tahiti.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This picture is not re-touched.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I took it midday in the bright sunshine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">From the <a href="http://plants.wasatchshadows.com/12190004/Plant/12705/Ultra_Blue_Star_Petunia/" target="_blank">Wasatch Shadows Nursery</a> here in Utah:</span></div>
<br />
<div id="NetPS-PlantPGPara1" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0em 0em 0.8em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Ultra Blue Star Petunia will grow to be about 12 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 12 inches. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 10 inches apart. Its foliage tends to remain dense right to the ground, not requiring facer plants in front. This fast-growing annual will normally live for one full growing season, needing replacement the following year.</div>
<div id="NetPS-PlantPGPara2" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0em 0em 0.8em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This plant should only be grown in full sunlight. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid. It can be propagated by cuttings; however, as a cultivated variety, be aware that it may be subject to certain restrictions or prohibitions on propagation.</div>
<div id="NetPS-PlantPGPara3" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0em 0em 0.8em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Ultra Blue Star Petunia is a fine choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor containers and hanging baskets. It is often used as a 'filler' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination, providing a mass of flowers against which the thriller plants stand out. Note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.</div>
<div id="NetPS-PlantPGPara3" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; margin: 0em 0em 0.8em; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The By Annie handbag zipper in Tahiti is a popular color in my shop and you can see why. It is a vibrant, beautiful purple color.</span></div>
<div id="NetPS-PlantPGPara3" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; margin: 0em 0em 0.8em; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a terrific weekend.</div>
<div id="NetPS-PlantPGPara3" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0em 0em 0.8em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I used one of Annie Unrein's (Patterns by Annie) newest patterns:<br />
Running With Scissors to sew this useful case.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The name of the pattern itself is clever,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but the assembly instructions for this one</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
are some of the most clever from any of the Patterns by Annie.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeH0LDY16EvUFMNFMjbnHJf_WxtEeFdW1YbW1o3cV75LZ333jf_QgJzu9h34enOxahAGiEzlEl6B2Iyu6lK4BW3kJ2LziL8W_IhGAGDTUhHmOR0DZq7dSBQTxgqYL0YYNKWDg2QkoLymSO/s1600/20180716_123821%255B1249%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="778" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeH0LDY16EvUFMNFMjbnHJf_WxtEeFdW1YbW1o3cV75LZ333jf_QgJzu9h34enOxahAGiEzlEl6B2Iyu6lK4BW3kJ2LziL8W_IhGAGDTUhHmOR0DZq7dSBQTxgqYL0YYNKWDg2QkoLymSO/s640/20180716_123821%255B1249%255D.jpg" width="310" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started by quilting my main fabric, Soft and Stable,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and lining fabric together using my Block Rockit quilting machine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BTW, I have my 14" Block Rockit on a 5 foot frame.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In my opinion, that is the perfect set up for a bag maker such as myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The cotton quilting fabric that I use is 44/45 inches wide,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which fits perfect on the 5 foot frame.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, I don't ordinarily quilt large quilts, just lap size,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so my set up stays this way all the time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I prefer to quilt my fabrics and soft and stable all in one large piece</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because cutting of all the components of the bag goes very quickly</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
after the fabric is all quilted.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Patterns by Annie usually follow a general set of steps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
There is an updated method of sewing the handle and "spine" support for this pattern.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is different from other By Annie patterns that I have sewn in the past.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really, really like the new method.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It helps keeps the top of the bag from bowing when it is filled with your supplies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuhQSRLhr0NtPxghyphenhyphenZvzzF5jsyk1Q50Oh1TLRZhdqcBy8W92ciHhSHDWfjGuM7lUhdVyXsz_OHYea1cOynqee5qBTJTbrjM-j-yZRythfauYgMCQuGho4twItaPzaiYEqxLIazf1rcvPAU/s1600/DSC_6944.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1072" data-original-width="1600" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuhQSRLhr0NtPxghyphenhyphenZvzzF5jsyk1Q50Oh1TLRZhdqcBy8W92ciHhSHDWfjGuM7lUhdVyXsz_OHYea1cOynqee5qBTJTbrjM-j-yZRythfauYgMCQuGho4twItaPzaiYEqxLIazf1rcvPAU/s400/DSC_6944.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of supplies, you can fit a plethora of sewing supplies<br />
(or whatever type of supplies you plan to carry) in this handy case.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The interior of the spine features fold-over elastic bands to hold items such as spools of thread.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And there are numerous slots and zippered pockets (vinyl, mesh, and quilted fabric).</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Another plus about this pattern, is that the construction is done flat. </div>

<div style="text-align: right;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The zipper does not go in until the interior and exterior have been completed.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After the zipper and zipper tab are done,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the binding is added and that is the last step.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is what I have to say about the zipper and tab:<br />
1. After inserting the zipper, cut it the length instructed in the pattern,<br />
then, if it is too long for your taste, cut a little off at a time until it is the length you wish<br />
(for my personal taste, this zipper tail is too long, so I plan to cut it down by about half).<br />
2. Add a metal zipper end for a more professional touch:<br />

Add the teeny, tiny little screw that comes with the zipper cord end,<br />
and tighten it down with a teeny, tiny screwdriver<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Saturday sewists!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This week's natural pair is the white butterfly bush and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the ivory <b>By Annie handbag zipper</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although the butterfly bush is called white,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it leans more toward the ivory side,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as you can see in the photo above.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The butterfly bush (generic name <i>Buddeleia Davidii</i>) comes in</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
several colors: pink, purple, red, white, yellow</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have the pink, purple, and white growing in my backyard.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
True to their name, the butterflies love them — and so do the hummingbirds and bees!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Butterfly Bush is a deciduous shrub here in zone 5,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but it can be an evergreen in warmer zones.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be careful in those warm zones, though, it could become invasive.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's not the case here in colder zones.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just cut mine back almost to the ground every winter and it grows to be about 10 feet tall</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the next summer; and it is a prolific bloomer from late July through frost.</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a By Annie ivory handbag zipper on my <a href="https://anotiontosew.blogspot.com/2016/09/im-leaving-on-jet-plane.html" target="_blank">Ultimate Travel Bag</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you don't need a true, stark white zipper, the ivory is a nice neutral choice.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are new to sewing a bag, tote, or organizer</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
getting started may seem a bit daunting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most of the patterns do not include actual pattern pieces.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's because the components are pretty much rectangles</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or squares with rounded corners.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So the getting started instructions may seem extensive and intimidating.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you look at the By Annie patterns with the following five steps in mind,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the process will come together much easier:</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><b> 1. Gather</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><b> 2. Quilt</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><b> 3. Cut</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><b> 4. Construct</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><b> 5. Assemble</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

1. <b><u> <span style="color: #76a5af;">Gather</span></u></b> all your supplies as indicated on the back of the pattern and read through all the instructions before you start cutting. Each pattern includes a back page that lists all the supplies you will need.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
2. <b><u><span style="color: #76a5af;">Quilt</span></u></b> your main fabric, Soft and Stable, and lining. If you do this on your domestic machine, follow the cutting instructions before layering your fabrics and Soft and Stable for quilting.<br />
If you are quilting your layers on a longarm machine, then do not cut the main fabric, Soft and Stable, and lining until after the quilting is completed. **Instructions for each method are in the pattern**<br />

<br />
5. <span style="color: #76a5af;"><b><u>Assemble</u> </b></span>your components as instructed.<br />
<br />
I have sewn a number of patterns By Annie and all of them have followed these five steps. When I break down the process by thinking of it in five steps, the project seems less overwhelming. I like to set my goals according to these steps. For instance: Day 1 <b><span style="color: #76a5af;">Gather</span></b>: Day 2 <b><span style="color: #76a5af;">Quilt</span></b>: Day 3 <b><span style="color: #76a5af;">Cut</span></b>: Day 4 (and maybe day 5 if there are lots of components) <b><span style="color: #76a5af;">Construct</span></b>; and Day 5 (and/or 6) <b><span style="color: #76a5af;">Assemble</span></b>.<br />
<br />
So if you've had your eye on one of those great patterns By Annie (or if you already have one), but have been a bit intimidated at the process, I hope this gives you the confidence to get started on your own bag, tote, or organizer.<br />
<br />
I'll be back in a few days with my completed Running with Scissors organizer.<br />
<br />
Have a terrific weekend.<br />

Happy Thursday, sewers!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's blog post is brought to you by the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/456089806/30-double-slide-handbag-zipper-purse?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">By Annie handbag zipper</a> color: Pale Pink.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've paired it with a lovely pastel pink snapdragon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm a pink kind of girl - any shade, any tone, I love pink!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Snapdragons (<em style="color: #636b4f; font-family: Georgia, BemboStdRegular, serif; font-size: 14px;">Antirrhinum majus) </em>are a tender perennial that are</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
available in a variety of shades and colors.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are also available in varying heights,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so shop around for the best match for your location.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They prefer cool, damp weather for the best blooms.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mine re-appear in full beautiful color every spring here in Utah.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do still have snapdragons blooming in the almost 100 degree heat of July,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but they are the most robust in spring and fall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see from the seed packet pictured below,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there are two different pink snapdragons.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One is a bolder, deeper pink color than the other.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/456089806/30-double-slide-handbag-zipper-purse?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">By Annie handbag zipper</a> in pale pink matches up nicely with the lighter, pastel pink snapdragon.</div>

Happy Thursday, sewers!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This week's colors are orange marigolds and the Papaya zipper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, the name does match the zipper color,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but there might be some who have never seen a Papaya.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I'm sharing this photo to give you a frame of reference for the color of the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/456089806/30-double-slide-handbag-zipper-purse?ref=related-1" target="_blank">By Annie Papaya handbag zipper.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Marigolds (botanical name is <i>Tagetes</i>) are sold in several different colors.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The most common colors are yellow and orange.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are part of the sunflower family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here in the high desert area of the United States,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
marigolds are easy to grow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They just need some regular watering and a good amount of sunlight.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I use them to outline my vegetable beds because they are pretty and they also attract</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
nasty little pests (slugs) who choose to feast on the marigolds instead of my vegetables.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The focus of next week's zipper color is pale pink.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will also have a completed project from one of By Annie's newest patterns to share with you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy gardening and sewing, my friends!</div>

Hello Sewists!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm starting a weekly blog post aimed at giving you a better idea</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of what color the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/anotion2sew" target="_blank">By Annie handbag zippers</a> are in real life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know it is difficult to be certain of what color to order when you can't</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
see the zipper in person.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since God placed a plethora of color in nature,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will be using natural items to pair with a matching zipper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First up, we have the Stock plant and the Wild Plum zipper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stock (botanical name is <span style="color: #522b47; font-family: Merriweather, serif; text-align: justify;"><b><i>Matthiola incana)</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
flowers have a lovely clove-like fragrance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stock is available in a variety of colors.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This one is more pink than purple.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For a good comparison of the pinks and purples,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
take a look at this photo from<a href="https://www.burpee.com/flowers/stock/stock-harmony-mix-prod000375.html" target="_blank"> Burpee seeds</a>:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Next week's featured zipper color is Papaya.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you have a zipper color purchase that you are pondering,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and you would like a better idea of the true color,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
post a comment below and I will hunt down something in nature</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with which to pair the zipper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've really put my Necessary Clutch Wallet through the paces,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I decided it was time for a new wallet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whilst I love my NCW, I also really enjoy trying new patterns.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I decided on the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/602466032/cheerio-wallet-and-key-chain-sewing?ref=shop_home_active_7" target="_blank">Cheerio wallet pattern</a> this time around:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did alter the flap pattern piece so I could use the<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/595281270/metal-edge-trim-handbag-purse-hardware?ga_search_query=metal+edge+trim&ref=shop_items_search_1" target="_blank"> metal edge trim from Emmaline Bags.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The lining is one big, long piece.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be certain to mark all the lines as indicated on the pattern.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Beginning with the bottom of the lining,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
self-made (or purchased) binding is attached at the first line</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(with the lining wrong sides together folded at the line).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then the binding edge is folded up to the next line, etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's kind of like fabric origami.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are new to zipper insertion,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or just timid about giving it a try -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
no worries.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pattern walks your through a very simple zipper insertion method.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeYPSqGxq8JdylTkbnQWW_JNvrBoxkEajbQFIrpjHRcKzPvuB4Py3Xv3O6oR7KocXR1tvjqfQnyCkM65xSRtJ94Y5c7VCHLjk8kngvCIk5KNL5apAtv2hcQRSCQ6zXlkgFfT63PU9tOIaZ/s1600/DSC_6789.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1126" data-original-width="1600" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeYPSqGxq8JdylTkbnQWW_JNvrBoxkEajbQFIrpjHRcKzPvuB4Py3Xv3O6oR7KocXR1tvjqfQnyCkM65xSRtJ94Y5c7VCHLjk8kngvCIk5KNL5apAtv2hcQRSCQ6zXlkgFfT63PU9tOIaZ/s320/DSC_6789.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used an ivory By Annie handbag zipper and a lipstick color zipper pull.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love having the option to customize my zippers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiUgGYSODWh8XO7lzwNg1Xk0tDAJUXtuPBrxxkktxijKzR-WkkjZlPmgz2XCYZiDfL9IgO0i-eu5jSELZZX1P5ADtLwjY_PIL7GIJ4oiKRYAfErtvpqEH8x7fiR5CKwV6wZ3AfiX3qDvZb/s1600/DSC_6784.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1072" data-original-width="1600" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiUgGYSODWh8XO7lzwNg1Xk0tDAJUXtuPBrxxkktxijKzR-WkkjZlPmgz2XCYZiDfL9IgO0i-eu5jSELZZX1P5ADtLwjY_PIL7GIJ4oiKRYAfErtvpqEH8x7fiR5CKwV6wZ3AfiX3qDvZb/s320/DSC_6784.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/568877219/soft-and-stable-polyester-batting?ga_search_query=soft+and+stable&ref=shop_items_search_2" target="_blank">By Annie Soft and Stable </a>instead of the fusible fleece as suggested in the pattern instructions.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0Bp1yn8Vfm1JKnpWsBNHYftAsjh97jORsCHZv1PlzHWH2Hh6NN0xMRmb5L13hmNkPShlnUdtyiH8nx2kje21cpeoi5hepAcbZLsu_iiSMVXnAPySDSP37ueLRRqRQ90puPEvBODx53d05/s1600/DSC_6783.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1600" height="143" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0Bp1yn8Vfm1JKnpWsBNHYftAsjh97jORsCHZv1PlzHWH2Hh6NN0xMRmb5L13hmNkPShlnUdtyiH8nx2kje21cpeoi5hepAcbZLsu_iiSMVXnAPySDSP37ueLRRqRQ90puPEvBODx53d05/s320/DSC_6783.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Soft and Stable is a bit thicker than the fleece, so I added a stitched line to serve as my</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"score" line so the wallet would fold nicely.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrXMaBBHK9vgNddmWFRdkavQ90asvBg-MrnKpctf42LniW9PO4C18wwd59Ae29Ii7EGXVKNSjPvTfydBcwGAY6UHGnLH2ZmqgQnuhATadLndEgSb0UdncIDpN6Y88HoyKnJhiMniye4Pnu/s1600/DSC_6777.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1600" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrXMaBBHK9vgNddmWFRdkavQ90asvBg-MrnKpctf42LniW9PO4C18wwd59Ae29Ii7EGXVKNSjPvTfydBcwGAY6UHGnLH2ZmqgQnuhATadLndEgSb0UdncIDpN6Y88HoyKnJhiMniye4Pnu/s320/DSC_6777.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose to add an embroidered monogram to the front flap because the Blush linen </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just asked for some kind of embellishment.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrBU61K3ojoxYg2rMrNslSzkvQ5apq5jkj5vOkY1ZYfFOMWiUBw5OY47le3j7GHms9oknsk4wEZAqybWP2URxpDaCY42r_pgvB9T6s4bdNsDIojNYvm8JZjDZkmeTa4pyAz8fpgYw7ejHO/s1600/DSC_6791.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="719" data-original-width="1600" height="143" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrBU61K3ojoxYg2rMrNslSzkvQ5apq5jkj5vOkY1ZYfFOMWiUBw5OY47le3j7GHms9oknsk4wEZAqybWP2URxpDaCY42r_pgvB9T6s4bdNsDIojNYvm8JZjDZkmeTa4pyAz8fpgYw7ejHO/s320/DSC_6791.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The one step that I did not change, but that I would change on a future wallet,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is that I would insert a piece of Timtex the full size of the flap, rather than just a 2 x 2</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
piece as called for in the pattern instructions (see how the outline of the Timtex shows</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
through the fabric underneath the snap).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fabrics I used for this wallet are:</div>

Hello Sewers!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have exciting news.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am adding items to my shop from none other than Riley Blake Designs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so excited to be able to add fabric choices to complement</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the great pattern and hardware selections that I currently carry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm curious to know how you select your fabric for your</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
handbags, totes, and accessory projects.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please leave a comment below, or contact me via email.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to supply products that 'baggers' want.</div>

A huge benefit to living near Christensen Wholesale is that I can shop</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in person for great items to offer my customers.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a look at my newest handbag.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/575258215/emmaline-bags-the-gabby-bag-printed?ref=shop_home_active_18" target="_blank"> Gabby Bag sewing pattern</a> from #emmalinebags<br />
There is also a closer look video at the end of this post.<br />
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The main fabric is cotton/linen canvas from #cottonandsteel</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYjSdvKs4eHBb6fIUUgXhH87tmj-rcwCH1NAz18AKWqvg_NZsVeKj9QzWBs8AIUQcPEJkLWb94KW0Q3jZjHnWwc5RI7mHnFN3Ixmg3HaKD-RYbKuNjG7MzxEfMulhattYQh9x4JRyJ8LN-/s1600/DSC_6684.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="772" data-original-width="1600" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYjSdvKs4eHBb6fIUUgXhH87tmj-rcwCH1NAz18AKWqvg_NZsVeKj9QzWBs8AIUQcPEJkLWb94KW0Q3jZjHnWwc5RI7mHnFN3Ixmg3HaKD-RYbKuNjG7MzxEfMulhattYQh9x4JRyJ8LN-/s400/DSC_6684.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the accent portion at the top of the bag, I used an upholstery fabric sample.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My friend, Kim, gave me a stack of samples that were used by a sales rep.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are not large samples, but they are perfect for bag accents.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks, Kim!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The bag lining is quilting cotton.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is a slip pocket on one side of the interior.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLgCtc2X5Cvg6IcNYRiSUWoOrpFg2TTCwdD3-sVrJQHQT3GxiNkJuAVIpXJ8lBBuobMF-JXVQkEkm5YtffRWJpUqouVRqKSLFZhT5nmkBOH58WRUsTb5a3SqgH94HqGDx1T6-DHSIc38kE/s1600/DSC_6674.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="990" data-original-width="1600" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLgCtc2X5Cvg6IcNYRiSUWoOrpFg2TTCwdD3-sVrJQHQT3GxiNkJuAVIpXJ8lBBuobMF-JXVQkEkm5YtffRWJpUqouVRqKSLFZhT5nmkBOH58WRUsTb5a3SqgH94HqGDx1T6-DHSIc38kE/s400/DSC_6674.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the fly stitch to add strength to the top of the pocket openings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn-Pg9_6eojV7Y0Z7eJjm1t_EMwTlJ9dW7ywUaLtbTo3FDNJD70yYEYT8NC2rHYPiZEUzvmOaZfxif78PJHyaL6-72OVQlD7ghZ7V3Mk9cpf_yfVr3zP4rSVCdu2F9iltYc9Ib0hPuPs8c/s1600/DSC_6672.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1151" data-original-width="1600" height="287" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn-Pg9_6eojV7Y0Z7eJjm1t_EMwTlJ9dW7ywUaLtbTo3FDNJD70yYEYT8NC2rHYPiZEUzvmOaZfxif78PJHyaL6-72OVQlD7ghZ7V3Mk9cpf_yfVr3zP4rSVCdu2F9iltYc9Ib0hPuPs8c/s400/DSC_6672.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other side of the interior has a zipper pocket.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPn7H4kFShYR7eR4x55CipJfFJqcrdsiuINO4Wn8OwYwLogUoRkexkHKKJEqjaIzlf82iBLgU6dSNXvjEI4g4ApCnjCsbRyRKuPMZvRY2YMH7urL-gNqfQCFrtaGWAvgtW-X0Sbik2u1eu/s1600/DSC_6676.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1117" data-original-width="1600" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPn7H4kFShYR7eR4x55CipJfFJqcrdsiuINO4Wn8OwYwLogUoRkexkHKKJEqjaIzlf82iBLgU6dSNXvjEI4g4ApCnjCsbRyRKuPMZvRY2YMH7urL-gNqfQCFrtaGWAvgtW-X0Sbik2u1eu/s400/DSC_6676.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is lots of room inside this great handbag,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but don't get me wrong,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it is no means the size of a large tote.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is a time and a place for a tote,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but there is also a need for a handy,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
everyday size purse,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and that's what the Gabby Bag is!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgygQt-7arZSvXNPYhGT_QdHp7wpQAamVmTo1ldvBUL3GdGpd0h-LjHvza3sEKKgxjGVPWnRJOJzAwT5tp6MTpuDFVA4dCxfUyuVUsZv2D3x7QPCBdJ0PEIBifoXf4oY-PUYxVvTDzBCIl5/s1600/DSC_6681.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="967" data-original-width="1600" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgygQt-7arZSvXNPYhGT_QdHp7wpQAamVmTo1ldvBUL3GdGpd0h-LjHvza3sEKKgxjGVPWnRJOJzAwT5tp6MTpuDFVA4dCxfUyuVUsZv2D3x7QPCBdJ0PEIBifoXf4oY-PUYxVvTDzBCIl5/s400/DSC_6681.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is also a zipper pocket on the outside of the purse.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love how the lining fabric accents the zipper opening.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7szMiWBa44PjDhgi5uN7F8L4hTE5ignP2VJIkLu3FjYJO2uPnld6mwTargkNi6LZiE2FPmn5MIIxmKNKiC-LxdJoKCBkT62uHiV7Aq98IgyqJsVflxf25SmCOOyZD20uaVC0vIqicoSRZ/s1600/DSC_6680.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1179" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7szMiWBa44PjDhgi5uN7F8L4hTE5ignP2VJIkLu3FjYJO2uPnld6mwTargkNi6LZiE2FPmn5MIIxmKNKiC-LxdJoKCBkT62uHiV7Aq98IgyqJsVflxf25SmCOOyZD20uaVC0vIqicoSRZ/s320/DSC_6680.jpg" width="235" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The clever gusset on each end is a nice detail.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The way the side tapers up to the top is so attractive.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkiGZ4Nu0FCFahvpKLpVnIRumaGDoue3eqeziSv47fhE46qmKApfquPDcSgdlmZpP7QAWHEczfrmU9rmQwf0MIAwl5-_u3ZKmPgRUFQfWlbRvVMx-PYvcLYEsRDZP4DIT07hzdotJcNW_F/s1600/DSC_6679.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="772" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkiGZ4Nu0FCFahvpKLpVnIRumaGDoue3eqeziSv47fhE46qmKApfquPDcSgdlmZpP7QAWHEczfrmU9rmQwf0MIAwl5-_u3ZKmPgRUFQfWlbRvVMx-PYvcLYEsRDZP4DIT07hzdotJcNW_F/s400/DSC_6679.jpg" width="192" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pattern includes instructions for fabric handle tabs and zipper ends,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I chose to use <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/587946297/strap-anchor-diamond-shape-bridge-anchor?ref=shop_home_active_4" target="_blank">hardware in antique brass</a>.</div>

The <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/587745447/zipper-ends-cord-ends-nickel-antique?ref=shop_home_active_21" target="_blank">hardware</a> adds a professional finish to this handmade beauty.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I can see myself sewing up another one of these handbags this fall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the pattern and the instructions are clear and easy to follow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The difficulty rating is intermediate, but I think a confident beginner could sew this one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who doesn't need another handbag in their wardrobe?<br />

If you, or somebody you know, needs a BIG duffle</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this is the pattern for you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It is the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/589180335/round-trip-duffle-sewing-pattern-printed?ref=shop_home_active_14" target="_blank">Round Trip Duffle</a> pattern from Patterns by Annie.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The pattern suggests quilting your main fabric, Soft and Stable, and lining fabric</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
together on a long arm (if you have access to one) before you cut your pattern pieces.</div>

There is a nice size slip pocket at each end of the duffle.</div>

The shoulder strap also features a slider so you can adjust the length according</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
To help keep the bottom exterior of my duffle clean and to help reduce wear,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I added four feet to the underside.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pattern does not give instructions to do this,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but that is how I prefer to finish a bag this size.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibEKb_RoOOHNGtSrbnULmnauun85VqzQGFt0_edXx7UrxUzS8x0lebXX1Sar_ATsnpn66uyKddSAp9VEtDfnDALbqgRINBc0jReaxd23cLd44wBJWTV54X8U-MkzbS1g-UmkVsHG1Ccwqq/s1600/DSC_6325.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1072" data-original-width="1600" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibEKb_RoOOHNGtSrbnULmnauun85VqzQGFt0_edXx7UrxUzS8x0lebXX1Sar_ATsnpn66uyKddSAp9VEtDfnDALbqgRINBc0jReaxd23cLd44wBJWTV54X8U-MkzbS1g-UmkVsHG1Ccwqq/s320/DSC_6325.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is easy to add this step, but be certain to do it before</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
attaching the bottom of the bag to the sides of the bag:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the exterior of the bag bottom,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
mark the desired location of your bag feet (I used four)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDaQdB4RVsrH5vwR3HyPjJPBGoUhTntjbzDO8bKVb4fF2b08rnB7jlaL_w9xRJP1Q2aClELPFqcSZTqaKH2HAyE41Y-HRoBPoyPURd3axnVHZ9SKrlSu6xNvTtcGF5dam8SEJJM1Vg6Gdp/s1600/DSC_6326.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1072" data-original-width="1600" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDaQdB4RVsrH5vwR3HyPjJPBGoUhTntjbzDO8bKVb4fF2b08rnB7jlaL_w9xRJP1Q2aClELPFqcSZTqaKH2HAyE41Y-HRoBPoyPURd3axnVHZ9SKrlSu6xNvTtcGF5dam8SEJJM1Vg6Gdp/s320/DSC_6326.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If your machine has an eyelet stitch, that's the one to use for this technique.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It looks like the above stitch #62 on my Bernina.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If your sewing machine doesn't have this stitch, that's okay!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Simply draw circles (approx. 1/4" to 3/8" circumference) on the exterior bottom of your bag.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then use a small zig zag stitch or a triple straight stitch to sew around your marked circles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_lLqroo0ghyKJYFDHdnf48c2Fk-20cNY4BsYdjLoDiZ_1w-celmcTwEY5gfmPTYxmKKZp6vufs82dEhc33ltPZd-ypjs3RmZc3qIoeutAxULOeKlg08rwFcMY136Gm6XLRvB374DhzWwB/s1600/DSC_6327.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1072" data-original-width="1600" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_lLqroo0ghyKJYFDHdnf48c2Fk-20cNY4BsYdjLoDiZ_1w-celmcTwEY5gfmPTYxmKKZp6vufs82dEhc33ltPZd-ypjs3RmZc3qIoeutAxULOeKlg08rwFcMY136Gm6XLRvB374DhzWwB/s320/DSC_6327.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now it's time to clip the circle open.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The easiest way to do this is to fold the bag bottom in half right through the middle of the eyelet,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
snip it open with the tip of your scissors - DON'T SNIP THROUGH YOUR STITCHING</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaRf6RfvzSl3NCdHfCCtu-KO3yJGOI_lUamvMhPFiWDvMPSrL97bFLhhvbEo1UO8LVINDLyGRwcFpdv4-9QspbU6w9n-0NnTOCi1KADBakTzPrdxn1HK2ppTrLpuQsNw8yeCT48jWSonxp/s1600/DSC_6329.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1072" data-original-width="1600" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaRf6RfvzSl3NCdHfCCtu-KO3yJGOI_lUamvMhPFiWDvMPSrL97bFLhhvbEo1UO8LVINDLyGRwcFpdv4-9QspbU6w9n-0NnTOCi1KADBakTzPrdxn1HK2ppTrLpuQsNw8yeCT48jWSonxp/s320/DSC_6329.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then fold the bag bottom in half the other way and snip so you make an "X" opening.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At this point it is good to add a little seam sealant to the clipped edges.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO_jWeieZg-zf2i4f1b3dDtXBHYLF0c4RCXoLpFL52wmW2y70HcfKD9ezGr5dN96wZPpkEaURubOV0tMqsRCdIAI9dZFFIJltzomNCnV_9F7D8s9-hT9RRt67zAi3BPVWhTYWTZKQirRcD/s1600/DSC_6335.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1072" data-original-width="1600" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO_jWeieZg-zf2i4f1b3dDtXBHYLF0c4RCXoLpFL52wmW2y70HcfKD9ezGr5dN96wZPpkEaURubOV0tMqsRCdIAI9dZFFIJltzomNCnV_9F7D8s9-hT9RRt67zAi3BPVWhTYWTZKQirRcD/s320/DSC_6335.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the lining side of my duffle bag bottom.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Insert the prongs of your bag feet so the prongs are on the lining side.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can add a drop of fabric glue <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N5CRS6A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">(this one is my favorite)</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The prongs will not show on the lining side because your acrylic support will cover them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a video to give you a closer look at this great pattern:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's not a quick sew, but I think you will be very pleased with the results</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
if you give this pattern a try.</div>

<a href="http://www.simplicity.com/simplicity-pattern-8376-misses-knit-top-with-multiple-pieces-for-design-hacking/S8376.html#q=8376&start=3" target="_blank">Simplicity 8376</a> gives many options for pattern hacking.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This one is View 1, the Base Pattern.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is the perfect pattern for not only new-to-knit sewers,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but also for experienced sewers who might be new to using an overlocker.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You do not have to sew this on a serger/overlocker,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but the pattern and the overlocker make a perfect pair.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are in the local area, I'm teaching this as a Baby Lock Serger event</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
My Silhouette Cameo teaching friend, Dana,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
will be joining me to show you how to add a monogram to your top.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

Happy February, sewing friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is McCall's 7186.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My intent was to blog a review of this one in late January.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My photographer has been traveling out of town extensively, so no pics.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*sigh*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perhaps a photography session will take place near the end of the month</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when we are both in town.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until then, this is my only picture of this close-fitting knit beauty.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fabric is <a href="https://www.fabric.com/buy/0548310/stretch-crushed-velvet-english-floral-mauve-on-black" target="_blank">Stretch Crushed Velvet English Floral Mauve on Black</a> from Fabric.com</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry for the teaser, but there will be a full post toward the end of February.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those of you who are machine embroiderers,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
here is some cute inspiration:</div>

This little ornithological creation is an in-the-hoop design from Pickle Pie Designs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used inexpensive felt from Hobby Lobby.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Clear vinyl was used for the cute little peek-a-boo-belly heart window.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I put the jelly beans in their own little clear bags and heat sealed them closed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
before they became part of the owls' abdominal contents.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The instructions are in the January/February 2018 issue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The design will fit in a 5 x 7 hoop,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I wanted to stitch out two coasters at a time,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I chose to use the 8 x 8 hoop on my Baby Lock Alliance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used embroidery software to copy and paste a second coaster.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see in the above photo, I did have to turn each design</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
slightly to fit both of them inside the hoop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Because I pretty much "squished" two coasters into this hoop,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut the batting and main fabric piece at 5 x 7 inches,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which is smaller than indicated in the instructions;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but they still covered the placement line.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaokJXnrF-Q6IEgt6WwnYVkWoipBZjKZJf0RRQaLLR6W-6owNBH4Hxw6L6zkhEy31FoQu3ojGJjG1PEtGWzvsMpKP8Vy9Aygt7gQ601KVdDkw8synjYBycuVlohkc14RigAs4mCUne0JYR/s1600/DSC_6177.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1072" data-original-width="1600" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaokJXnrF-Q6IEgt6WwnYVkWoipBZjKZJf0RRQaLLR6W-6owNBH4Hxw6L6zkhEy31FoQu3ojGJjG1PEtGWzvsMpKP8Vy9Aygt7gQ601KVdDkw8synjYBycuVlohkc14RigAs4mCUne0JYR/s400/DSC_6177.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once the front of the heart is stitched out,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
two 4 x 7 inch fabric pieces are placed face down on top of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the stitched out heart (I used low tack tape to hold them in place).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The outline of the heart will then stitch them in place,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you will remove the entire design from the hoop,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
trim around the heart, and turn it right side out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The instructions suggest using pinking shears</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to trim around the heart, and I highly recommend doing just that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They add the perfect 'clip' marks so your heart turns easily with nice, smooth edges.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is one misprint in the instructions:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The third bullet point under PREPARE on page 21 of the magazine</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
instructs you to fold the<i> short</i> edge of one 4 x 7 rectangle toward the wrong side -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in actuality, you should fold the<i> long (7")</i> edge of the 4 x 7 rectangle</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
toward the wrong side and press.</div>

This lightweight knit scarf is one of those 5 projects.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is also the project for my February 28 <b>Baby Lock Serger</b> Class</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at both <a href="http://www.wimmerssewing.com/" target="_blank">Wimmer's</a> locations: Layton and Ogden</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had this very, very (almost sheer) lightweight spandex knit on hand,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I decided to give it a try.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The instructions call for t-shirt weight knit fabric.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm actually quite pleased with the scarf.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The edges are finished with a rolled hem</div>

and serger chains are woven into the slits that are cut into the scarf,</div>

using a skip cut rotary cutter blade.</div>

Hello sewers and hello 2018!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With the start of each new year, I find myself in organization mode.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/563733078/glo-and-go-sewing-pattern-printed-patter?ref=shop_home_feat_2" target="_blank">Glo and Go</a> cosmetic wrap from patterns <b>By Annie</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is your go to makeup brush and supply organizer.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The pattern instructions call for quilting cotton for the exterior of the wrap,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I chose to use marine glitter vinyl.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The marine vinyl is easy to sew and easy to wipe clean.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I purchased mine from <a href="https://pileofabric.com/" target="_blank">Pile O Fabric</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgumH1-lLh4Ibwo1pwfhCR1DofHFsyy6m7huSiq8NDMU7DA-XFIXoNZfJGKHZR-d0rrBQI6kEyc3wLLx45-Rz-M9BxHoYjceveUgCebD1qbvScGwC9F-o2qADfFI1Ps_ZAUzTJhfy9VgLks/s1600/DSC_6092.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="817" data-original-width="1600" height="203" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgumH1-lLh4Ibwo1pwfhCR1DofHFsyy6m7huSiq8NDMU7DA-XFIXoNZfJGKHZR-d0rrBQI6kEyc3wLLx45-Rz-M9BxHoYjceveUgCebD1qbvScGwC9F-o2qADfFI1Ps_ZAUzTJhfy9VgLks/s400/DSC_6092.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you decide to use the marine vinyl for your exterior,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you can omit the interfacing that is called for in the pattern instructions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The vinyl is more than stable enough on its own.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This wrap is for my daughter, so I machine embroidered her monogram to the font of the wrap.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before doing so, I searched and searched for blog posts, you tube videos, etc. that might</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
give me some helpful tips on embroidering on marine vinyl.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I came up empty, as everything I found focused on vinyl applique.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I plan to record a video on said topic, so check my YouTube channel in the near future.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I used my <b>Baby Lock Alliance</b> and I experimented . . .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it wasn't pretty!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The above photo was the first font I chose for my monogram.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Such a pretty font - not such a pretty stitch out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hooped Inspira light cut away stabilizer and placed the vinyl on top.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do not hoop your vinyl - it is too thick for the hoop and the hoop would leave marks on the vinyl.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The stitches were embedding down into the vinyl, so I added wash away stabilizer</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on top of the vinyl (you can see a remnant of the wash away on the second stitch out).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But it still wasn't a pretty monogram.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Soooooo . . .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I changed the font, used the Inspira light cut away stabilizer,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and used wash away stabilizer on top.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Look at that!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The font was the culprit!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The original font was just too delicate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It got lost in the loft of the glitter vinyl.</div>

The inside of the wrap features mesh pockets to house your brushes and supplies</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and a clear vinyl flap to protect your supplies and to keep your wrap clean from makeup</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that might be on your brushes.</div>

This pattern can be customized in so many ways.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can vary the number, the type, and the size of mesh pockets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have fun sewing your version to meet your needs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you don't want to sew your own, or if you don't sew,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
please send me a message,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I would be glad to sew a custom version just for you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay, back to organizing and de-cluttering my house!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello sewers! Thank you for stopping by my blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you all had a blessed Christmas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With the new year just ahead of us,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's time when many of us think about starting an exercise routine,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or changing up an existing routine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I try to exercise throughout the year,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I am an eclectic exerciser.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To me, that means I play around at many types of exercise.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I get bored easily with the same routine,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I switch up my exercise routine A LOT.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also get bored with my exercise clothing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And it was time for a new pair of leggings,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I chose <b>McCall's</b> pattern number <b>7261</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just as new exercise routines keep me interested in exercising,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so do new workout clothes.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj46CFfQ0FdHjIWC-PdkpSQrpUfBFobgJ8QNixrleY3xl1Cy7uzaHhyqBIPSt_NpMYIZYr8lYTJ6Xkt400DHCXXybXLvcwoSLcl5Bwra3AeKESAWKQpRT3vqmyKpLb0Nap3oEZGfDev5AAZ/s1600/Standing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: #0066cc; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; orphans: 2; text-align: center; text-decoration: underline; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="979" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj46CFfQ0FdHjIWC-PdkpSQrpUfBFobgJ8QNixrleY3xl1Cy7uzaHhyqBIPSt_NpMYIZYr8lYTJ6Xkt400DHCXXybXLvcwoSLcl5Bwra3AeKESAWKQpRT3vqmyKpLb0Nap3oEZGfDev5AAZ/s320/Standing.jpg" width="194" /></a></div>
This is the only pair of leggings I have that are not one solid color.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The panels of color in the mid leg make me happy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I purchased both fabrics at Joanne.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj46CFfQ0FdHjIWC-PdkpSQrpUfBFobgJ8QNixrleY3xl1Cy7uzaHhyqBIPSt_NpMYIZYr8lYTJ6Xkt400DHCXXybXLvcwoSLcl5Bwra3AeKESAWKQpRT3vqmyKpLb0Nap3oEZGfDev5AAZ/s1600/Standing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div>
The black is performance fabric so it helps hold in the jiggle!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The galactic print is a little bit lighter weight spandex knit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As with all leggings, this is a really quick pattern to sew.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used my <b>Baby Lock Triumph</b> serger for the entire project.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was able to neatly sew, trim, and finish the edges of all the inside</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
seams with just one pass through the serger.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then used the cover stitch to keep those seams from "rolling" around.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a close up of the outside and the inside of the garment:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I really like this pattern because the waistband does not have a casing or elastic.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That makes the leggings smoother on the tummy and more comfortable to wear.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a short video that I made.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It shows a few more details and I also discuss how to choose your size.</div>

It is so rewarding to sew custom orders for my awesome clients!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We started with the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/544671332/treasures-trinkets-printed-sewing?ref=shop_home_active_11" target="_blank">#treasuresandtrinkets</a> pattern from #patternsbyAnnie</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The pattern has instructions for 3 sizes (S, M, L)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The pattern is designed to have a zipper pocket</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
only on the lining side of the "flaps",</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but V requested double-sided pockets,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I was happy to oblige.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We also made the <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: black; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">little removable pods double sided.</span><b></b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The bottom of the case is designed to just house the strap</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that holds those pods in place,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but V requested an additional zipper pocket on the bottom.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you decide to add a pocket here,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just be certain to allow room to attach</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the snap for the pod strap above the pocket</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
V also requested a mesh zipper pocket on the inside lid of the case</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
instead of the mesh earring bar as designed in the pattern instructions</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the vinyl mesh as directed in the pattern, but I made it into a zipper pocket</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The vinyl mesh is sturdy and V can still attach earrings to the pocket</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and/or she can store items inside the mesh pocket as well (pretty smart, isn't she?)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The small removable pods measure about 3 x 3 inches</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and they have a loop on one side to allow them to be attached to the snap strap</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at the bottom of the case</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the perfect size case for travel, but if you are new to bag making,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would recommend starting with one of the larger sizes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and sew the case as instructed, without the extra pockets, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as this smaller size can be a bit tedious</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it is a little fiddly to attach the binding</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to those double-sided vinyl zipper pockets.</div>

All those vinyl pockets offer so much storage for so many different supplies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whether you are a sewer, crafter, jewelry maker, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there is no doubt you have lots of necessities</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that you need to keep organized.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The front and back mesh pockets offer additional storage areas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One is a slip pocket . . .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And the other is a zipper pocket.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The hook and loop tape on the back of the vinyl insert pages</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
makes it very handy to remove the pages for ease of use.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Isn't that fun fabric that Renee chose for her lining?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My littlest grandgirl was thinking she needed a new dress for fall,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so we headed to Joanne's and she chose Simplicity 8026.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
She also chose her own fabric.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is a very fine whale, lightweight corduroy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
She is an average sized 7 year old - not tall, not short, not heavy, not skinny.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sewed a size 8 with no adjustments, and it is a perfect fit.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The bodice sides feature a tab (I used flannel) with a decorative button.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, my grandgirl chose those buttons as well.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The pattern is Simplicity 1221.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I modified it to be sewn entirely on the serger.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Instead of purchased binding,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we will make custom binding using the binder attachment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The ties are finished off with a rolled hem.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This would make a lovely,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
new apron for you to wear during your Christmas baking,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- or - </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it would make a thoughtful gift for someone special.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you use your serger for more than just finishing seams?</div>
