Friday pattern pick
Friday, October 3rd, 2014
We have a bit of a departure for this week – a pattern for a bag. Say hiya to Two Becomes One from Mandy Shaw at Dandelion Designs. I love this pattern as it’s an easy, quick make but the results look stunning. You can use all sorts of fabric – cotton, denim, oilcloth, upholstery, linen etc. If you use a finer fabric then it’ll need some interfacing or wadding to help it keep its shape and strength. In total the pattern uses 1m of fabric – half for the main body of the bag and half for the lining. Then you need wide tape for the handles, a magnetic fastener and a button.
It’s totally reversible so really versatile and looks good for most occasions – shopping, nipping to the gym, carrying fabric or even a small dog. You can add a pocket to make it extra useful if you like. With a bit of tailwind, this bag can be made in one sitting and the only slightly tricky thing to master is the magnetic fastener, but Mandy includes detailed instructions about this so don’t let it put you off. It’s worth taking a peep at Mandy’s website as she’s got some really nice things to drool over.
A very useful sewing site
