PART 2: The Reveal

I finished the bag and had just one thought: I’m gonna need a bigger bag. šŸ˜‚

This second one, made at 130% size is perfect to hold all of my Jaws essentials, and my awesome new towel from Sand CloudĀ®ļø

ā€œAmity as you know means friendship.ā€

It’s Shark Week! Which can only mean one thing…I need a new themed tote for the occasion!

Here’s Part 1 of my Sharky Scoops Ahoy Tote! Check out Part 2 for the final reveal. šŸ‘€

Did you know the pineapple is a traditional sign signifying hospitality, warmth, and friendship? I love to think of this when visiting new places and meeting new people. So it just felt right that I made an (extra tall) Road Tripster Tote using this print.

Print is Pineapple Swirl Gingham and is available in the current round from Cotton & Twirls.

Road Tripster Tote pattern is available here: https://kdillhandmade.com/products/road-tripster-tote-pdf-pattern-w-video-tutorial
(modified to add 2" additional to the base height)

Have you been wondering what the pattern is and/or looks like for the Woodland Wander Box. While the full pattern reveal won’t happen until the boxes are on their way, I can share that the project is a daypack style bag. The Henderson is that perfect mid-size bag for a day trip hiking, exploring a city, or visiting a park. And with the bonus 4-pattern accessory pack (FREE to those who are on my VIP list), you can truly customize it for whatever adventure you’re about to take.

For those still curious, here are a few sneak peeks at what the Henderson looks like and a look at exactly what is included in your box. I’m particularly excited for the exclusive sew-along!

If you haven’t already, grab a box in your favorite color way (or grab both! 🤭)

Well, we did it! We made both happen! 🤩

After days and days of voting, lots of comments, and so many back and forths, Katie and I realized that we had a problem - no-one wanted to give up their favorite (including us)!

So, Katie reached out to her supplier, told them our dilemma, and somehow was able to work a little magic so that she could offer BOTH color ways for Woodland Wander! Now you can choose the box that feels the most like you - or you can grab both if you still can’t decide! šŸ˜„

🌲 OR 🌸 (or šŸ™‹šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø)

It’s going to be so fun to see which box you all choose and I cannot wait until the photos of your completed Henderson projects start rolling in.

Pre-orders are now open through May 31...or until the boxes sell out.

Want to know one of my favorite things about Katie and My Little Shindig? It never feels intimidating.

Her fabrics and materials are beautifully curated, but the whole vibe is more ā€œsewing with your most enthusiastic friendsā€ than ā€œdon’t touch anything.ā€ There’s a real community there — people cheering each other on, sharing their makes, actually having fun with it. And honestly, that energy is exactly why this collab felt so right.

The Woodland Wander Box — A Sasquatch Bagmaking Adventure — has been such a blast to work on. It includes an exclusive pattern I designed just for this box, plus all the materials to make it, and I think the playful spirit of the whole thing really comes through.

Pre-orders open May 22, and if you’re on the My Little Shindig email list, you’ll get a ā­ļøFREEā­ļø extra yard of Bonded Poly with your purchase.

Not on the list yet? Let’s fix that!

P.S. if you haven’t checked out her fab t-shirt club yet, I encourage you to take a look. šŸ‘€

If you don’t already know Katie, let me introduce you to one of my favorite people in this little corner of the internet. And talk a little about something we’ve been working on together.

Katie is the fun and fierce force behind . She curates fabrics, clubs, and bagmaking supplies in a way that just makes sense, and the community she’s built around it is full of people who actually cheer each other on. I love that.

We’ve been working on something together and I’m not going to lie, it’s been SO fun. (I case you can’t tell yet, we like to have fun. šŸ˜‚)

The Woodland Wander Box — A Sasquatch Bagmaking Adventure — is a one-time collab box that includes an exclusive pattern I designed just for this project, along with everything you will need to make it.

It felt like us from the very first conversation, and I can’t wait for you to see it.

BONUS: If you join the My Little Shindig email list, you’ll also receive a FREE additional yard of Bonded Poly with your Woodland Wander Box purchase when pre-orders open May 22. Join her email list here: https://mylittleshindig.com/pages/early-access

This September (25th-27th), I’ll be attending and teaching two classes at the brand new Sew Sweet Retreat in Hershey, Pennsylvania! I’m so excited for this retreat because, well...chocolate! But also…hanging out with my sewing friends!

I’ll be teaching the Jot It Down Notebook Cover on Friday morning and the Scoops Ahoy Tote on Saturday morning. For both classes you have the option to purchase a class kit or pre-cut and prep all of the materials yourself prior to the retreat, using your own stash.

We’re going to have a lot of fun! I have a few extra surprises and goodies planned for each class. I hope to see you there!

Class sign-ups are now OPEN and selling fast! You can learn more about the retreat and reserve your tickets on the website.

I had the best time making up this set this past week with my Patreon members for our Spring Sew-Along. And as promised, I took it with me to the fair today at Centennial Park and tried to get a couple photos. I may be a bit of an awkward model and had a quick cameo from my puppy dog, but hey…it’s all good.
