I've only made one bag, the amy butler birdie sling! It's huge but I love all the space!
ReplyDeleteI have made one purse, for a friend, and it was a medium bag using three different interfacings! I love medium to large bags for convenience.
ReplyDeleteI've only made drawstring pouches. But... They have drawstrings and flat bases!!
ReplyDeleteGreat color combination! Mlambrecht68@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI'm getting ready to make a new purse. I'm in love with it because it's huge and has 3 sections so I won't lose as much stuff, haha. I just need to find a fabric I love...
ReplyDeleteI am a blog follower.
ReplyDeleteI've made a few bags - a couple for me and a couple for my mom. I liked all of them, but none that I've made have had enough pockets!
ReplyDeleteI've made several bags. My favourite was made from folded fabric 2 and a half inch squares with a sequin and bead stitched in the centre of each square.
ReplyDeleteAwesome bag. great job.

Wow Pat. BEAUTIFUL OMG this one goes beyond lovely... You have put together a delightful purse. Back when I was 13 I made a draw string bag, easy design for my age but it had a secret bottom, where I could stash my puppy love letters. lol... too funny. I love a purse small enough to not overload it but average size that could double as a multiple purpose tote. Yours fits both criteria. Keep up the great work..:) tfblake@comcast.net or message on face book. Teresa
ReplyDeleteOne thing I need in a bag is the ability to push it out of my way whilst dealing with kiddos! So over-the-shoulder bags are my faves. Thanks for the great giveaway, and Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteI haven't made any bags yet, but do purchase them at craft sales. Friend made a large diaper bag for my granddaughter last year. Would love to win your bag!
ReplyDeleteI just signed up to be a follower.
ReplyDeleteHow adorable! I love the lime green/black combo. I haven't made any purses, just a tote and about eight hundred million zipper pouches (everyone in my family is getting one for christmas this year). My favorite feature in a purse is two large central pockets. I really like not having everything all in one large one. Thanks for the generous giveaway!

ReplyDeleteMost of the bags I've been making lately have been feed bags repurposed into shopping/craft totes. My fave is the Purina Cat Chow bag that currently is housing the fiber I took to spinning group this weekend.
ReplyDeletei just made a diaper bag for a gift exchange that had tons of pockets on the inside- it was really fun to make, but bags are a lot of work and i can never seem to find the right batting/interfacing.
ReplyDeletei'm a follower now!
ReplyDeleteLots of pockets, the more the better :)
ReplyDeleteI made a diaper bag 3 years ago that was cute and quilted and from a store bought pattern. But, I have outgrown it and haven't motivated myself to make a new bag. I just buy them on etsy. I love tote style bags with lots of pockets and a zipper close. rebecca342 at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI'm still working on my first bag and hope to finish it before the new year. :) For me, bags should have LOTS of pockets. I don't think I've ever seen a bag that had enough.

ReplyDeleteI made some April handbags from the Sew Mama Sew linked tutorial. I like the size, though I don't like that they don't have any sort of closure at the top (like yours does!)

What a beautiful bag, love those colors! I've made a few little bags for friends and the best thing I've found to do is to add lots of interior pockets. They're always a welcome feature.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous bag! The material makes me smile. I don't know where you find the time to do all these projects but keep going!!
ReplyDeletelove this bag...such pretty colors! I love making bags too, one favourite is about 12"x18" and has buckram instead of interfacing, so is very stiff.
ReplyDeleteI like making large purse/tote type bags using charm packs- they make great gifts!
ReplyDeleteand now I'm a follower- thanks!
ReplyDeleteI've made a few knitted bags, then did a sewn lining for them. It's fun to combine mediums! Thanks for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun and funky fabrics you've chosen! I love to make the Folklore Bag from One Yard Wonders. It's a large bag with lots of space inside, which is important to me.
ReplyDeleteI love the pat bravo fabric, I've used it in one of my fav quilts. I've only just made my first full sized bag as a Christmas pressie and it was made from old jeans.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower.
ReplyDeleteThe purses I like have several pockets and a zipper closure. I also like it to be a little larger than most of the patterns I have seen.
ReplyDeleteLook at you -- getting all creative. The purse looks fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteI can't get over how talented you are! Such attention to detail and your choice of colors and combinations is terrific! vbaroody@rochester.rr.com
ReplyDeleteI like a small bag with a place for my phone and a place for my keys.
ReplyDeleteNice colors and good structure there! I like bags with pockets. I keep making bags for my sister... Rae's Buttercup Bag (also in pleather for my mother), the Margaret sling bag from Oh Fransson, a bento bag I found somewhere online... I like handy bags. dangandblast@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI've only ever made one bag, and it was a lot harder then I thought. To make it ever harder for myself, I used a silk like material for the outside. I finished it for a friend, who loved it, but haven't had the guts to try another one yet. I like big shoulder bags that can be a purse or bookbag.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous colours in your beautiful bag. I have just started making small zippered pouches for Christmas gifts. Thanks for the give away.
ReplyDeleteMy current bag is a kinda slouchy shoulder bag I made from the most fabulous Sesame Street cord fabric :-D I actually got the fabric for free which makes the bag doubly superb! I love pockets so it has a zip pocket on the outside, 2 zip pockets, 2 slip in and 2 pen pockets on the inside, I'm pocket crayzey!!

I love the camera bags I made for a trip a few years ago. Very fun. Thank you for the give away.
ReplyDeleteI did make my first one and I had a ball doing it..it was confusing at first. I went shopping with my dear dear friends daughter and she picked out some awesome material because loves bright colors and she is getting me hook on them as well
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on the purse and I love the colors..
I have made a number of totes over the years. The one that has been used the most is a scrappy quilted tote that has been the "library bag" for years.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely a follower of yours...of course!
ReplyDeleteHi Pat,
ReplyDeleteI have made several purses and totes over the years. I like to give them as gifts. My favorite purse to make is about the size of the one that you are giving away. Your "give away" is just beautiful. The winner will be a very lucky lady!
First off, let me just comment that I ADORE this bag! That said, I have attempted to make a large tote with fabric from the Bliss range, but the handles weren't strong enough. So I unpicked it and turned into a smaller zippered scripture tote, but the invisible zipper didn't turn out well (at least the handles are decent!) So I will attempt it once more before giving up on bag making :( Anyway, thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThis bag is very cute! :) I have two young daughters, so when I'm looking for a purse/tote - I prefer a bag that keeps my hands free - I like to make sure the strap is long enough to wear over my shoulder or cross body and that the bag itself is large enough to store my phone, wallet, camera, dipes & wipes for my kiddos, as well as a few toys/snacks to entertain the kids.
ReplyDeleteThis purse is very cute! I love the fabric you chose. I make lots of bags, mostly because I love carrying them. Currently, my favorite bag is a pattern called Two Zip Hipster.
ReplyDeleteI've never made a bag! But I think I need to try one out! This is so pretty!

Oh my gosh! What an absolutely GORGEOUS bag!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe last tote/purse I made was for my MIL made from different breast cancer fabrics and then machine embroidery was added inside on the pocket and on the outside I embroidered the Dolly Mama breast cancer design and added her monogram. It turned out super cute. We drove to MI to deliver it to her after her reconstructive surgery she had done. For the two previous years she had two mastecomy's because of advanced breast cancer. I filled her purse with all sorts of goodies that were all pink. Shower gel from Ulta Cosmetics was her favorite after she learned there was no bathing or showering for awhile so the scent in the shower gel made her smile when she was forced to taking the 'sink' baths.
I am now a follower of your blog. Thank you again for the chance to win such a gorgeous bag. Purple is my favorite color so I'd take very good care of it if I win.
ReplyDeleteI've made a diaper bag and totes. i love purses with pockets.
ReplyDeletei LOVE that bag!! I've mostly made grocery/tote bags, although I've made myself a purse or two.
ReplyDeleteI've made a couple of purses and tote bags. I have one that is a backpack purse that is kind of fun and cute!
ReplyDeleteI've made several totes, purse's and large bags. I love making bags and such of all sizes. Your's is super cute. Thanks so much for the opportunity to enter.

ReplyDeleteI made two versions of the Mail Sack by Pink Chalk Fabrics - one was the large size and I use it as a book bag; the other was smaller and I use it as a summer purse. I made the straps long on both of them to carry cross-wise. I like my tote bags big but my purses small. Your purse is beautiful!

I really need pockets in my purses. I like a thick, long strap so it can comfortably be a shoulder bag.
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking I should make a bag because I love all of the ones I see online. But then I chicken out and worry about what could go wrong. Silly, I know! I love the colors. A roomy bag that looks different than what everyone else is carrying is the best!
ReplyDeleteI like light linings and lots of pockets in my totes and purses. Thank you for a fabulous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI follow you.
ReplyDeleteI'm following you, now!
ReplyDeleteI like kind os cubic bags, but not too big, maybe 20cm wide.
ReplyDeleteThese bags can have 3 separate compartiments for you to always know where are things :)
my first purse ever was the size to fit in a small pack of tissues, I made several them for christmas back then, really simple with a small flap, and I used home made cord-slings and buttons to keep them closed. I sewed tiny little beads on them - mine still helps me to have tissues always at hand.
ReplyDeleteI've made too many purses to talk about, LOL, but it needs to be sturdily constructed...have nice handles...lots of pockets...and fit all my junk. =) Your bag is adorable. Great fabrics.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance to win.

ReplyDeleteI love Lazy Girls Miranda bag, and have made many. Mainly to give away. I love pockets in bags.
ReplyDeleteI love bags in general. However, I have an unhealthy fear of zippers. So I have not given any bags a go other than simple totes or drawl strings.
ReplyDeleteP.S. This bag is adorable!

I have made a number of hobo bags for my daughters and their friends from a pattern I've had for years. The first one I made for my daughter received so much attention that pretty soon I was making them for my daughter's friends too. The pattern is pretty simple but I think it's the fabric combination that catches people's eye. My daughter says the original purse I made her still gets comments when she uses it.
ReplyDeleteCute purse! You had me at vera bradley.
ReplyDeleteI'm a crocheter/knitter, so my favorite bags are felted & of course, they have to have lots & lots of pockets or divided. I'm also a sucker for matching accessories!
anastaciaknits(at)gmail(dot)com
Found a remnant piece of fabric several years ago that I fell in love with. Much too small to do much with except make a lovely little purse. I get so many comments on it - and am making one for a friend as a result!
ReplyDeleteI like the colors of your bag. I usually make potato chip bags and give them away to my family and friends. I rarely make anything and keep for myself.
ReplyDeletedeborahbullock6618@gmail.com
I haven't made a bag...but i think i prefer small...or something large enough to carry library books.

I love bags in all sizes and designs. Can a girl ever have too many bags?!
ReplyDeleteI just made my first purse for myself (the rest have been gifts) and my favorite thing is an unexpected element. The purse I just made is with very loud, modern prints quilted together, but there are two small fabric bows between the rows. It's a fantastic juxtaposition !
ReplyDeleteI've only made one tote ever. My first tote was a recent sew alone I joined on another blog. It was a scallop tote (layers of pretty scalloped fabric down the front) and I was so proud of it. :) It's not ideal since I should have added extra pockets on the inside, pockets are awesome, but I was so eager to finish it I forgot to add some. :P

The only thing I have ever mde was totes for grocerys so I don't think that counts. I like pockets lots of pockets in my bag! Thanks for a chance to win. Love the colors
ReplyDeleteyou have a new follower here love the bag
ReplyDeleteI like bags with secure inner pockets, pockets that have snaps or zippers. I just feel more secure knowing that someone would really have to work at getting to my wallet or my keys.
ReplyDeleteFor that same reason, I like long straps on my bags so that I can wear it as a cross-body. It's too easy to grab a bag and pull it right off someone's shoulder.
Goodness I sound paranoid! lol I guess it comes from liking to travel, and doing things to protect myself and my identification.
Thank you for the chance to win the bag. I love that fabric! :)
I loves making hobo bag.

ReplyDeleteYou know I haven't really gotten into making purses....
ReplyDeleteI made a tote bag last year with a chalkcloth front pocket. The new owner said that her son uses it all the time when he needs something to keep him occupied. I visualized it as an errand or grocery list.
ReplyDeleteI made a "buttercup bag". It was adorable, but I haven't attempted it again. I am a self taught sewer, meaning I make a lot of mistakes. Hope to get better soon! Thanks for a chance to win this beautiful bag!!!!!

ReplyDeleteI made an Amy Butler tote bag once; I still carry it and it is GORGEOUS, but it took FOREVER to make. She definitely is a stickler for details.
I've made a few bags, and really enjoy playing with the designs. I do buy lots of patterns though, that's how I learn to better my work. Love pockets.
ReplyDeleteSo far I have made a lot of simple shopping bags only. I do have a diaper bag half way through... that I really should get back to before the baby is actually out of diapers.
ReplyDeleteLovely bag. I've made lots of sizes, usually they get bigger and bigger since I carry a lot of stuff for my two boys. Thanks for the giveaway. Happy Holidays!

I made a purse for one of my daughters using 40 yr old curtains that belonged to my MIL. What a great purse it made...daughter loved having something made with her grandmother's things. On that note, I made a stocking for my youngest grandson and used buttons from my husband's grandmother...so those buttons were grandson's great great grandmother's. So cool!

Really cute purse! I have made several purses and totes...some for myself and some for others. I usually can find some good free tutorials online. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI have designed and made a couple of small purses appropriate for when you just need your keys and license/credit cards. Recently I made a "humungus" tote at a guild class. The shoulder strap was attached in such a way that the bag did not lay flat against your hip...so when I got home I redesigned it. Love the fabrics and style of yours. The size is great as its between the tiny and the big ones I have.

Thank you for the opportunity;)
I have made a small tote for my knitting supplies.
ReplyDeleteMy first purse was made from a pattern my SIL brought back from vacation along with the wooden handles. I have made several variations of the purse over the years including a diaper bag in denim lined with plastic that lasted for 7-8 years before the plastic went. The last few purses have been yarn-knit or crochet-and then fabric lined with lots of pockets. Soft, packable and easy to carry.
ReplyDeletePockets are important for me. I like having everything organized.
ReplyDeleteWhat a striking gorgeous bag. I have only made one bag. I just finished knitting a bag which I need to felt and put the finishing touches on. I am excited to see how it turns out. My first ever felt project.
ReplyDeleteI like the fabrics you've chosen. I like bags with a light colored lining to make it easier to find things within.
ReplyDeleteI really like the colors!
ReplyDelete-Heather W.S.
I love this bag - it is so my colors! What I love in a bag is a double handle -- one short to make it a handbag and then the option of a long, cross body one as well. If not that -- then I like a generous shoulder bag. A must is an outside pocket to slip keys in. And I also like to have inner pockets for cell phone, etc. on BOTH of the inside walls, not just one! Yeah -- I am picky about my purses!
ReplyDeleteI have made one bag and really want to make more.. mine was a small hipster type.. ended up being to small for my needs
ReplyDeleteYour bag is striking beautiful!
I've only really made one bag - the miranda bag from lazy girl designs - and a couple of simple totes. I like lots of pockets, enclosed seams, and unless it is just a clutch, any tote bag needs to be big enough to carry a binder (I'm a teacher)
ReplyDeleteThanks,
