SEW SWEETNESS PATTERN
I really love this bag. It was my tester version of Cavalcade Travel bag pattern by Sew Sweetness. This bag is perfect as a travel bag! It has 2 big zippered parts, the main on the top and the bottom zippered part that enough for your shoes or something else that need to separate from others.
This bag also has a removable sling strap, and on the back has a slip part that can be slip on your luggage handle.
This travel bag is a fantastic way to keep yourself organized on your next trip or outing! The main compartment of the bag is secured with the top zipper, and a second zipper near the bottom of the bag will allow you to stow other items separately, such as shoes. […more…]

BOWLER BAG | HANDBAG | HANDMADE BAG | VEKZA BOWLER BAG
The bowler bag has a classic style, and it will yet beautiful with a modern touch. The new pattern that was just released by Country Cow Designs is one of them, it called Vekza Bowler Bag.
I had the pleasure to be one of the testers of this bag, thank you so much Jo, to count me in your tester group! I am honored! Please feel free to go over and see the Country Cow Designs patterns, click here for links with the website.
This Vekza Bowler Bag is a medium size bag that has two handles to carry. I made the handles shorter than the pattern said, but mine is still long enough to slip over the forearm up until the elbow. I chose the flat one, but the pattern gave an option to make it flat or rolled. You need to check it out for these options 😉
This Vekza really has a sturdy look, rigid, good structure, and beautiful looking too. No birthing method for the final touch. This bag used a binding method to finish the bag. Just love the final result! Yes binding sometimes sounds scary but just think about the final result then it will be fine, and enjoy the process. Rather than using a sewing machine, I used a hand stitch to finish the binding, because I am not getting used to it yet.
This Vekza has a curvy pocket on the front part of the exterior, which makes it easy to put in and out the things that we need fast access. To do this curvy pocket just need the patience to get a nice and smooth curve. The interior has slip pockets and a zipper pocket. And don’t forget the interior has a roomy space enough to put many things 😉 Just nice!
[From the designer] Overall the pattern isn’t too complex, you just need to take your time and follow the tips to getting a great curve on that front zip pocket – that’s what makes in an intermediate pattern.
Finished size: 9″ tall x 12 1/2″ wide x 4″ deep.
Skill level: Intermediate
Full video tutorial also available here!

SLING BAG | SLING BACK BAG | SLOUCHY BAG | SANDHILL SLING BAG
A sling bag is a bag that’s designed to be worn comfortably across the chest or back and secured to the body with a cross-shoulder style strap. The buckle tends to be off-center, the straps connect diagonally, and the body of the bag tends to have an oblong shape (we say “tends to” because there are quite a few exceptions, which we’ll get into later).
Yes, that’s one of the definitions of the sling bag that I found.
This time I made this sling bag in the “Harry Potter” theme fabric because my daughter loves this theme and canvas for the exterior, cotton for the interior. The pattern of the bag is from Noodlehead, Sandhill Sling Bag, a compact hands-free sling-style bag. If you want to buy the pattern just click here.
A sling bag will change our way of carrying stuff, at least it makes us easier carrying the stuff, really! That was also one of the reasons why I bought this pattern and make this bag as soon as possible after I bought the pattern.
This Sandhill is one of the perfect accessories for a day trip. As we know for a trip we need some essential things like a phone, keys, a wallet that should be easy to grab out and put in several times, and Sandhill fit for it! I really love this!
With this back bag, we can wear on the front and one on the back, so this bag also perfect to put in our flight essentials. This sling bag becomes a great place to keep your pocketable items, especially while in transit. Just toss all of your stuff in your sling.
For Sandhill pattern, there are features that I’ve got from Noodlehead, which are:
THAT’S PERFECT!
So let’s just toss all sorts of fun goodies into our sling bag just because we can! Yes, sling bags provide us easy access to our things inside! We can wear this bag to festivals, exploring places, parks, hiking or other outdoor activities, everyday use, and many more! Have fun!
