Gretel Fabric by Amy Smart for Riley Blake Designs |
It's absolutely darling, cute, and nostalgic. I decided to make what I call a - busy bag for girls on the go (or Mom's like me). It can hold all the essentials - apple juice boxes, hot wheels, little dollies, wallet, and phone (yes, in this order because Mommy's essentials take a back seat to kids essentials).
Here's what I made:

So many of you have asked me, is there a pattern for your project, and sadly, no! My process of creating bags and projects in general starts off with deciding what I want to use it for, sketching, measuring, creating rough pattern, and sew as I go along. My New Years resolution is to make patterns for all my projects (something long overdue). So hopefully, sometime this year I will have my patterns ready for all of you!
Here are some details of my process for the Busy Bag:

Making the zipper panel |
Sewing the bag inside out, and praying it turns out okay! |

I hope you enjoyed my Gretel Busy Bag. Gretel really is adorable. I'm hoping in making a mini version for my daughter Rosalie!

ReplyDeleteHi Suze,
ReplyDeleteNot sure what happened by your comment was deleted when I was about to respond! Thank you so much! I know, there is know pattern at the moment. My goal for 2019 is to start making and publishing patterns for all the projects I make. I'm a mommy to twin 2.5 toddlers, so a lot of my goals are sadly unreachable at the moment. Please stay tuned though, I hope to have something out soon. Thanks!
