Practical Bag for QuiltCon

This is my second time making Tanya Whelan's Practical Bag pattern. I love this pattern, as it's an easy sew and the size and shape of the bag is perfect for a sweater, water bottle, and notebook....all the things I needed to carry around for my QuiltCon lectures.  Lightweight interfacing, fused to the Echino linen print adds a bit of extra stability to this bag. Another Practical Bag in an organic canvas with modifcations for longer straps is in the works for a beach bag!

What is your favorite go-to bag pattern?

Have a Happy Day!

Happy Handmade Holidays...well sort of.

This year I have developed quite a few crafty habits. As a result, I became overly ambituous, dedicating myself to make all handmade gifts for Christmas.
I made handmade gifts for Christmas, but being the shopaholic that I am, I of course did massive damage at my favorite stores as well.
Back on track, crafting, okay crafting (not shopping). I created this pillow for my husband's grandparents and began experimenting with making pot holders this week.
I will reveal more of my handmade creations after Christmas. I don't want to ruin the suprise for my well-deserving recipients.
Have a happy day,
Lynsey
