I was recently selected to test a bag for Sara, who blogs
over at Sew Sweetness. It was a wonderful opportunity as I sew mainly clothes,
but have enjoyed the few bags that I have made.
Sara designs and sells bag patterns.
I am “sew” grateful to have had the opportunity to assist
someone start up their small business, by testing and commenting on the
instructions on a pattern before they start selling them. I am now busy with
another bag, but have to keep it secret until it is released!!
This bag was called the Accordion Bag. I decided to use
black twill for the body of the bag and use scraps of silky type fabrics for
the flap. I was going through the de-cluttering of my sewing room and clearing
the junk, I had two bags of scraps to throw out, but rescued enough to stitch
together and pleat for the flap. I then used black leather like fabric for the
piping. I had used this for the edging of the corset I made in December.
As most of the fabric was used for various dresses and tops that I have made for myself,
I call this bag my Memory bag!
Because of the fabric on the flap, I see this as a bag I
will use in the evenings.
Previously I have been a tester for a Sewaholic pattern. I
tested the Alma blouse in summer last year. Again, this to me shows how the
sewing community assists each other. We help new independent designers with their businesses.
