Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a fantastic day. We’re hosting our Star Wars: The Force Awakens Giveaway on our Facebook Page – be sure to enter!!

Keeping up with our Star Wars theme these past two weeks with our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of the awesome projects we had created with our Star Wars: The Force Awakens collection – our Bucket Bag! Stephanie Baldwin, a fellow Montrealer, member of the Montreal MQG, and voice behind this blog, is one of our favorite people in the city to sew projects for us. She is super talented, efficient, and creative – and every project she has done for us…. we all smile with excitement and say “wow!”.

For the launch of our Star Wars: The Force Awakens collection on Force Friday, we wanted to share some projects created with the designs. We chose our Bucket Bag, one of our free projects, which is a super cool beach, gym, or weekender bag – perfect for a Star Wars fan!

Thank you, Stephanie, for bringing our Bucket Bag to life! You can find more from Stephanie at her blog – Queen of Wands Studio. And, if you want to make your own Bucket Bag (with our new Star Wars collection), you can find the PDF printout here. Have a wonderful rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! I hope you all had a wonderful week – but yes, we’re so are so glad it’s the weekend!!

We are very excited to be sharing this week’s Fan Friday project…because it’s one of our own, exclusive tutorials: our Quilted Bucket Bag! Jennifer Trumbo saw the tutorial on our blog, and fell in love. She created our bucket bag for her #coloroftheyearswap partner, and loved it SO much, that she made one for herself with the same fabrics. She didn’t have any trouble with our tutorial, and mentioned that our pattern was perfect (aw, shucks!) and that the bag had plenty of room. Her finished bag looks fantastic, and we adore the fun prints she chose.

Thank you so much, Jen, for the project love! You don’t know how excited we were when we saw your bag – SO glad you had fun with the project!! Hope your new bag has many awesome adventures with you! You can find the free tutorial for our Quilted Bucket Bag on our website. And with that, have a lovely weekend!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a fantastic day. We’ve been launching our Summer 2015 collections this week, so be sure to check them out here. It’s also Chocolate Day... Don’t need to give us another reason to have our daily dose of chocolate ;)

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are sharing a tutorial for a stunning Quilted Bucket Bag, created by Marion of Made by Marion. With summertime, it’s also official vacation season! Whether it be a vacation to the tropics, a fun road trip, or even a day adventure to an undiscovered area – the quilted bucket bag will be your new, favorite companion. The bag is quite large, and has a comfortable strap, so you can put all of your favorite essentials into one – great as a carry-on or weekender bag!

The drawstring closure allows for you to easily find any loose items in your bag, such as a passport or pair of sunnies. The color blocking and quilt details add to this modern bucket bag, and it looks fantastic with our Zoey Collection. The taupe prints keep the bag fresh and neutral, but the coral interior is such a fun pop of color!

We are obsessed with this bucket bag, and cannot wait for our next adventure to use it! Want to make your own Quilted Bucket Bag? Click MORE to see the full tutorial.
