Hot Patterns 1092 Pyramid Bag

The Hot Patterns Pyramid Bag is finished! I love the size, and the groovy zebra print!, which is actually brown and cream, not black and white like it looks in the photo. This is one BIG bag, but I think it will be perfect to use as a carry-on when I travel. Lots of pockets both inside and out.

As you can see, I used a pretty pink quilting cotton from my stash for the lining.



A separating zipper allows access to both sides of this large bag. I also added a self-fabric 'lanyard' for my keys, and they will drop right into the pocket and be easy to find.

I think I'll get a lot of use out of this bag, which is big enough to hold all the essentials for travel. When not traveling, I think it will make a great knitting bag for large projects.

    I also made this bag and agree with you instructions were hard to follow but I did complete it. Then took out zipper and redid not my kind of purse. I have another Hot patters purse pattern and having a hard time reading it. I guess I need a good challenage.

    That would make a great beach bag. I love the idea of the zipper and all those pockets!

Knitting: Heart Hats for Valentine's Day

Image
 I had a lot of fun knitting the  Heart Pom-pom Hat from Fox & Pine Stitches  for the grandkids for Valentine's Day.  Using Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick  yarn made for some warm and squishy hats! This is a lovely free pattern, but I did find the sizing to be a bit small. Modifications to the number of cast on stitches solved that minor issue. These knit up so fast, and is now a go-to hat pattern for me. Check out Fox & Pine Stitches: she has so many cute patterns!    -Patty💖

My Birthday Dress: Butterick 6674

Image
                                                               My Birthday is a month away, but this is the dress I made to celebrate turning 65.....how did THAT happen?!!  I wanted a cotton day dress to wear for the warmer summer weather, and I feel this is it! I had watched Whitney from TomKat Stitchery on YouTube post a sewalong for this pattern,  and I loved everything about it: -shirtdress style -princess seams -custom cup sizes and -a fit and flare silhouette This 100% cotton fabric with sliced lemons and blue stripes is just quirky  enough for this milestone birthday. And the color scheme is absolutely perfect  for the weekend I'll be spending with my daughters in Ann Arbor: my old stomping grounds as a University of Michigan alum. Although I usually prefer to line my dresses, I wanted to keep this one cool and comfortable, so I followed the pattern directions for bias bindings on the neckline and armholes. (I may need to wear a slip, though!) And after auditioning white bu

Casual in Linen: Pattern Emporium Low-Ley Cami with Love Notions Allegro Pants

Image
The second outfit I've sewn for my upcoming travels to Napa is my favorite so far,  a cute, casual number made in Robert Kaufman Brussels Washer Linen Blend . This 55% linen, 45% rayon blend was just perfect for this set of garments: cool, drapey, and with a minimal amount of the wrinkling that one finds with 100% linen. I can't say it enough: I sure enjoy sewing with all types of linen these days! Again, the Pattern Emporium Low-Key Cami did not disappoint and was a perfect choice.  Since I had already made this top for my rayon lounge set, this one was a quick make that had already  been adjusted (1/2" removed from front armhole, 2" added to cami length) for the perfect fit. The Love Notions Allegro bottoms have been on my radar for a while now: I've had the pattern printed and ready to sew up for some time. I ordered this linen for exactly this pattern: I wanted to try a pair of the linen joggers that I have seen trending lately. What a fun and easy make, and
