Two more Hammerstitch | Christine Dans Sequoia Satchels finished up for 613Christmas 😍. I have really enjoyed using the BEAM Creative Designs waxed canvas for this style of bag. It sews up beautifully and does not leave any residue in my feed dogs.

Fall inspired Hillside Totes 😍

I’m stocking up for my next market which will be 613Christmas. Mark your calendars for December 5 & 6.

I’ve been working on some ahhhhmazing custom orders lately including this stunner 🤩 of a Hillside. My lovely customer chose a decidedly fall 🍂 palette and I am in love with the combo. The Terracotta waxed canvas and fancy zipper pulls are from BEAM Creative Designs — my latest shop obsession 😁

But now I really do need to get started on restocking my inventory for Christmas markets 😬

Sometimes you just need a little crossbody bag when you are out and about on the 🚲 bike. These little cuties are based on the Kincaid f***y by Kindred Sewls — I just left off the side flaps, added d-ring connectors to the back as well as a loop for an elastic cord and a toggle to wrap around the handlebar post on the bike. This keeps the bag from flopping around too much when you go over bumps 😁. The bag attaches to the handlebars with some double sided Velcro tape which can be left on the bike and when you’re at your destination, just pull out and snap on the crossbody strap! The exterior is made from Linen Oxford that I purchased from Ami Ami Chang — it is totally waterproof and dirt can be wiped off with a damp cloth.

One of my all time favourite R***e Paper Co prints 😍 transformed into a regular size Anna Graham | Noodlehead Quarry Tote makes for a fabulous knitting/ crochet project bag or just a great tote in general. As always, Joy Herman has the perfect webbing to match🤩 - Rum Punch in case you’re wondering!

This is the last bag I’ll be making for the Almonte Fibrefest this weekend- I’m super excited and can’t wait 💃

One final batch of Anna Graham | Noodlehead Open Wide Zipper Pouches for the Almonte Fibrefest on September 12 & 13. This pattern is an oldie but goody and was the first bag pattern I ever made. It’s a free tutorial on the Noodlehead website and the overhanging zipper allows the bag to open up nice and wide so you can see everything inside. These bags make the perfect project, toiletries, or corral-your-junk bags. Come out to Almonte to check them out in person! There are a ton of other great fellow vendors who will be there too.

I just finished trying out another new-to-me pattern by Anna Graham | Noodlehead — the Quarry Tote in the small size. The round base makes for a really cute shaped bag. I’ll be bringing this one and hopefully a few others with me to Almonte Fibrefest on September 12 & 13 …I can’t believe it’s only two weeks away!

The Mini sized Fieldstone Tote 😍makes a great little project bag! This is the first time I have made one of these bags and I loved how the construction allows for a large accent panel. This one features my favourite design by Jillian Anderson 😍

I think this bag style would be a good lunch bag shape too….I just might have to make some with waterproof lining and insulation 🤔

I’ve had this beach tote cut out for over a month and I finally got it put together. Construction wise, it’s a cross between a Anna Graham | Noodlehead Wool+Wax Tote and an Oxbow on the outside with extra pockets and a key fob on the inside. I fudged the size of the bag to use up every last scrap of the Zipper Valley | Bag Supplies DayFlex I’ve had in my stash for well over a year … maybe two 😆. I reinforced the exterior with Emmaline Bags - Janelle MacKay EB Fuse Heavy - it took some convincing to get it to stick - but in the end it worked. This bag was a birthday present for one of my besties and I filled it with all her favourite snacks to take up to her cottage.

It’s been a while since I made the Anna Graham | Noodlehead Open Wide Pouch but it is still my all time favourite, especially for knitting and crochet projects. I love the way you can fold back the sides for easy access to everything inside. I’ve made a whole bunch of these for 613flea this Saturday, July 4th in three sizes — medium (holds approximately three 50g balls of yarn), large (6 balls) and I extended the pattern to make an Extra Large size that holds 10-12 balls of yarn! Of course you don’t have to use these great pouches for yarn. You can use them for anything that needs organizing…makeup, cables, small toys, jewelry, stationary/pencils, books…
