I was recently sent a gorgeous stack of fabric (plus a book and some cards!) from the Journeys collection by Kathy Davis. I have been wanting to make myself a new bag and had the Amy Butler book, Style Stitches, (affiliate link) checked out of the library. I decided to make myself the Teardrop Bag using some of the Journeys fabric:
(I didn't get photos taken when the bag was brand new because I made it in a rush before vacation. It's a little bit broken in here--it's been a great bag and I really like it!)
My thoughts on the pattern and the bag--
*I used the recommended Shapeflex interfacing; next time I might try a stiffer interfacing or interline the bag with stiffer canvas or use fusible fleece instead. (It's a little floppy.)
*There is an error in the book for the larger sized Teardrop bag. If you want to make this bag, check out the correction for the pattern on this page.
*I followed the pattern for the handle and it turned out too narrow for my tastes, so I made another one and widened it.
*I found some good tips on inserting magnetic snaps here. I used 2 layers of interlock knit to reinforce the snap pieces, instead of fleece.
*I sewed some dividing seams in the pocket, you can sort of see them in this pic:
My phone fits just right in that center pocket.
*The strap. I lengthened the strap so I could wear it cross-body but I don't think I got it quite right. Someday I need to figure out how to make an adjustable-length strap.
*And, I used sewn-in interfacing on one side of the strap and added some sturdiness by using a layer of twill fabric in place of interfacing the other side of the strap fabric.
Ok, you made it! The folks from Kathy Davis Designs would also like to give a set of these fabrics to one of my readers. The giveaway includes:
Half-yard cuts of the following fabrics (this was my set, obviously I've used some of them): *The strap. I lengthened the strap so I could wear it cross-body but I don't think I got it quite right. Someday I need to figure out how to make an adjustable-length strap.
*And, I used sewn-in interfacing on one side of the strap and added some sturdiness by using a layer of twill fabric in place of interfacing the other side of the strap fabric.
Ok, you made it! The folks from Kathy Davis Designs would also like to give a set of these fabrics to one of my readers. The giveaway includes:
I like all of these... but I LOVE the text fabric, and the dragonflies are my favorite, too! The large floral in the top row is also super pretty.
Also included in the giveaway is the book Scatter Joy, along with a pile of gorgeous greeting cards, all by Kathy Davis as well.

The fabrics are all so pretty! I love the bag too. An adjustable strap would be great to learn to do! Something interesting? I've entered the Giveaway day too for my first giveaway on my blog. It's kind of exciting!
My 2 favourite things:

Fun giveaway and your bag looks great!!!
shouse.michelle@gmail.com
Hmm ... Something interesting - I didn't realize my middle and my last name would be he same till after I got married!
Very generous giveaway - thanks so much for the chance. :) Something interesting? Hmmm... sorry, can't think of anything - I'm up way too late looking at the Giveaway Day blogs and my brain has shut down for the day. :(
Love the bag and I appreciate the 'notes'. I am thinking of making a camera bag and these tips may come in handy. Something interesting? I am starting a vacation on Thursday! Well, interesting to me, anyway!
Lovely Bag!
All the Fabrics are beautiful - Thanks for the chance :D
Live your bag, I've been looking forward to making that one so thanks gor the great pattern review, I'll be reading it again for tips before I start! Fab giveaway too!!
Thank you for a wonderful giveaway! I will try my luck :)
Beautiful fabric and cards! Thanks for the chance to win. Something interesting...my married name is England and my mother's maiden name was Ireland.
I love that fabric. I think I may have one or two already (is that cheating?)
Thank you for a lovely giveaway!
316ramirez@gmail.com
Thanks for the opportunity and I hope I win! :)
I'm also from Kansas and am a Pizza Hut brat. My dad is a franchisee and I work for him now.
My sister is collecting dragonfly fabrics so I would share those (pat on the back) with her, and make a bag for myself! Thanks for all those helpful tips and the chance to win!
I am putting together a king size quilt with different block sizes and therefore, different sashing sizes. It's kind of a pain, but perhaps better than cutting off the points on all my pinwheels.
Thanks for the giveaway
I live in Amish country. In the same mile on my road are 14 Amish families. It's really a different way of life.
Thanks for the great giveaway! I like your bag and the fabrics are very pretty!
My youngest just graduated from college on Sunday. I'm going to be "rich" again. hahaha.
Beautiful bag! Thanks for the opportunity to enter your giveaway!!
Your bag is just great. I know what you mean about handles. I recently made a cute bag with darling purchased handles. After using it I replaced the handles with a shoulder strap, more my style.
Lovely fabric. Laura x
I love the fabric. some thing interesting is that I joined an on line dating service this weekend.
I love the dragonfly fabric. And the cards are soooo cute! Thanks for the chance to win...

Thanks for the chance to win :)

Great bag! Thanks for the chance to win the fabrics!
What lovely fabric! I have an addiction to buying fabric - I just can't help it!
Thanks for doing a giveaway! The fabric is beautiful, but I'm almost more excited about the cards!! I LOVE stationery and I think I'm one of the few people who still regularly writes hand-written letters! (Is that interesting?)
Your bag is lovely - have you checked out the Bag Making Bible - it's fabulous. I'm loving these fabrics but I've never seen them before!
Something interesting?
The most expensive swimsuit in the world is a bikini that is worth $30 million dollars. Designed by Susan Rosen and Steinmetz Diamonds, the bikini is made with more than 150 carats of D flawless diamonds which are all set in platinum.
Text fab is my fav. Interesting: Bird count so far today- 1 angry hummingbird (didn't get the nector out yet), 1 cardinal, goldfinches, chickadees, tufted titmouse and 1 pileated woodpecker trying to get in the roof of the birdfeeder! nanasew at gmail dot com
Great job on the bag. Haven't attempted anything like that yet. The colors are beautiful!
I think the text print is my fave too - love your inner pocket with it! tiedyediva at gmail.com
Lovely fabric bundle!
Great fabrics! Thanks for the opportunity to win!=)
Gorgeous bag and awesome fabric. Thanks for the chance. Something interesting, hmmmmm . . . I'm a fellow cougar alum (at least I've noticed your boys in cougar gear on the blog).
Your bag is fantastic, even in it's worn-in state & your review/critique of the pattern is great. These fabrics are lovely & I would love to win. Thanks for the giveaway.
So good to see a bag that has been used and still in good shape!
Love your bag - thanks for the tips! Thanks for the fabric giveaway! Rock Chalk Jayhawk! (I hope you're a KU fan like I am.)

Lovely giveaway! Love the fabrics, especially the text one.
Your bag is so cute and I love the fabric! I love Amy Buttler and I have made on of her bag's. I'v carried it all summer for two years and it is starting to look pretty sad I really need to make a new one.
What a great giveaway.
You should be a pattern tester-your hints were great. I get a little fed up when I'm using a pattern, and it doesn't come together so great & I need to make changes! I'm not familiar with Kathy Davis so thanks for the links-the fabrics are really nice!
Those fabrics are just gorgeous--I'm sure they are even prettier in person. Can't think of anything interesting, feeling kind of worn out. I went to bed late, and then woke up in a total panic because I was sure I had overslept. Jumped out of bed, hopped in the shower, when I got out I looked at the clock. I had woken up at 4:15 AM, when I didn't need to be out of bed until 6:30. Wow! FAIL! Got all the chores done though, and now I can play on the computer! Not too interesting, but it's all I have on this Monday morning.
Thank you for participating in Giveaway Day!
Great bag! :) and those are such lovely fabrics, I would love to win them. Thank you so much for opening this giveaway for international followers :)
did you know that a sparrow has three times as many neck bones as a giraffe?
Lovely fabrics! :)
So pretty your bag...
The bag is beautiful - you did a great job and I LOVE those fabrics! I am a handquilter and have been for 12 years and just now venturing into purse making and I love it! Love how fast they work up and I've learned that quilting fabric works on purses as well as quilts! Have a great day and Happy Stitching!

Lovely fabrics! I made the teardrop bag for my stepdaughter and she loved it. Just the right size for running around on the weekends. Thanks for the giveaway!
Lovely bag! I've never used an Amy Butler pattern - are they easy? I made a huge Paris Bag from Fig Tree and the directions were wonderful.
Interesting fact of the day: Karoke means "empty orchestra" in Japanese.
Well, in entertained me anyway =)
I love the fabric you are offering and think the bag you did is crazy inspirational. If I won I'd definitely be thinking of making one of my own.
Thanks for an awesome giveaway!
Fabrics are beautiful
The most interesting thing I can think of right now is that my little Boston Terrier Miles is getting neutered tomorrow :0( So dog lovers please send him happy healing thoughts and send me fabric! :0)
Thanks for the great fabric selection in the giveaway!

lovely fabric!!! fenna_otten at yahoo dot ca
An adjustable strap would be a great idea - maybe for a simple one you could use D-rings attached to one side of the bag, to pull the strap through?
Cute bag! Something interesting...My doggie (who normally hates being in the rain) apparently thought the joy of rolling on bugs outweighed her dislike of being wet. So now I have a wet, stinky dog. Sleeping on the quilt I had just finished and washed.
wow! such a pretty bundle! thanks for the awesome giveaway.
liz1611 at gmail.com
I am so terrible at bag-making! Love your's!
I would like to make a keyboard cover with the fabric. We have somewhere around 20 guitars and 4 keyboards and microphones and amps and a ukulele. I would like to make some sort of dust cover for each of them, eventually. Thanks for the fabulous giveaway!
I would totally make my daughter a skirt with this fabric! She's tiny so I could make many!

Gorgeous fabrics! Something interesting...I am wondering if I can somehow move my crafting room outdoors this summer, becuase I looooove sitting at my sewing machine, but also love sitting in the sunshine. There's my random thought for the day! Thanks for the chance to win!
nice fabric and thanks for the chance to win. (love the bag too)
It's so hard to think of something interesting on the spot! Thanks for the giveaway, though.
these are all great! love your bag:)
As I am sure you know, typer's elbo is real!

I can never think of anything when asked to share something interesting, so I'll share a favorite joke of my son's.
Q: What does a cow say when he's climbed to the top of a mountain?
A: Yodel-ay-hee-MOO
Nice giveaway. Thanks for the chance to win.
Interesting, eh? I have always used universal needles for sewing cottons and for piecing, but I found out that sharps (or denim needles) are actually the recommended needle for woven fabrics because the sharp point finds its way between the fibers without punching a big hole. Universal is kind of an in-between type needle that isn't the best for anything, so I'm using up my current stash and then I'm gonna switch over to sharps.
Thanks for the lovely giveaway!
wow. those fabrics are very pretty. i love them.
p.s. my email is khsmiles(at)juno(dot)com
Love them all! Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway. I'm expecting a baby girl this fall, so for every giveaway I enter today I am thinking of all the beautiful things I could make for a baby girl. I think that these pastel blues and greens look especially lovely on little girls. Thanks again!
I'm finishing my teaching degree this summer and am loving the extra time I have to craft. My mom and I are starting a quilt and I'm crocheting and sewing up a storm. Love these gorgeous fabrics!
not sure if this is interesting but I think it's cute my girl has just started sharing her food! (she's 10months)
Gorgeous giveaway! Something interesting...I only sew barefoot, gotta feel the pedal!
the sky appears blue do to a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering.
My sewing machine pedal is taped with duct tape, because I don't want to fork over $50 for a new one! I'm not sure that qualifies as interesting... :)

something interesting...after 4 years, I'm finally making our master bedroom 'ours' by hanging things up, getting a few pieces of furniture to complete it, and purging all the 'stuff'.
ourbusylittlebunch(at)hotmail(dot)com
I look funny sitting here trying to type with a huge bandage on my hand thanks to stitches..
I'm rather boring, and can't think of anything truly interesting to say. So instead I'll waste your time with my favorite "chicken" joke.
Why did the elephant cross the road?
It was the chicken's day off.
(Sorry!)
That fabric is beautiful. Something interesting makes my mind go empty. O.K., there was a hummingbird here, since that is only the third time I've seen one, I think that's interesting. Thanks.
Those fabrics are so beautiful. Thanks for the chance! Hmmmm, something interesting. Did you know that the first potato planted in the US was in 1719 in Derry, New Hampshire?
I have a new Husqvarna sewing machine that I love! Thanks for a chance to win your goodies - great bag!
i'd love a chance to win! gooberific@yahoo.com
Something interesting... Hmmm... I used to live on a tiny peninsula where all you had to do was walk for 15 minutes and you'd be at a beautiful sandy beach.
Hmmm interesting comment... did you know tarantulas could become as big as my husbands hand? (Shudder)... Great fabric bundle!
Just learning to make bags, so excited!
All I can think about right now is how yesterday our tennis team was in the City Finals in Atlanta. We came in 2nd but it was an amazing experience with lots of supporters there and of course, it was over 90 and humid!
I have recently started making bags from recycled clothing and bits and pieces I find- mostly for my own amusement but perhaps I will make millions selling them one day. You fabrics would be lovely additions to my creations.

Here is an "interesting" bit of advice:
For Giveaway Day, make sure not to typo your blog's url when emailing your entry. I've now learned this the hard way. ><
(Sorry, I'm going to be kicking myself all day for that one!)

Wow it was along way down to get to the comment box;0) Love these beautiful Kathy Davis cards and fabric and would love a chance to have a closer look! Your bag is delightful Vicki.
I love the purse and have not tempted to make a purse for myself yet. The more I look at them though the more I want to make one and the fabric you have is gorgeous!! megan.ritchie(at)yahoo(dot)com
Wow! The fabrics are wonderful, but then you added the cards...How generous! Today we had sunshine and temps in the 80's in the Appalachians. Blessings
Beautiful fabrics! Thanks for the giveaway! megancparsons(at)gmail(dot)com
Those fabrics are gorgeous. Not very interesting, I know, everybody's saying it. Here's the interesting thing: I'm doing a presentation at a 10,000+ attendee academic conference this fall about prayer shawls!
love the fabric!
I havent seen that fabric before, and I love the dragonflies.
I absolutely love painterly fabrics. These are gorgeous.
I love the fabrics. I've never seen them before, but love the look. Your bag looks great also.
I don't know if this qualifies as interesting, but I'm embarking on a new sewing project soon. I'm going to attempt to make a whole set of crib bedding for baby #3! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
I'd be happy to win this lovely prize! I'm doing my own giveaway today and it's been so much fun reading all the comments that I almost forgot about entering the giveaways! Haha!
The bag is wonderful! And the fabrics are yummy!
Awesome giveaway! Those fabrics are gorgeous. I made a few purses recently, too, and decided that stiffer interfacing would improve them. I also learned that aligning magnetic snaps is much easier if you attach the snaps, close them, and THEN sew around the lining (all but the opening for turning the bag right side out). You may already know this trick, but I really loved learning it!
ammieloris (at) hotmail (dot) com
What a grand giveaway. And I love the blocks in your previous post.
The fabrics are beautiful and you did an amazing job on your bag!
Wow - thank you! A generous giveaway!
The fabric on the bottom second from the left would be a favorite of one of my kiddos!
Something interesting hmmmm, my dog's name is Scruffy, we named him, then decided to go buy him, found him, he looks like Toto.
I love your bag. I think spring and summer bags can be a little floppy. I love the selection of fabrics. I am just starting to follow several quilting blogs and I love this sense of community. I hope it continues. Thanks for hosting such a lovely giveaway.
I like the script fabric too
I hadn't seen that bag pattern before. I really like it, it looks like the perfect size, and the fabrics are wonderful!!1
Gorgeous fabrics! Something interesting - oh the pressure... I just started making bags and I really enjoy it, but I find it hard to be motivated to sew in the summer. Thanks for the giveaway!
Hello,
This is a new designer to me. I really love that fabric with the writing on it. My daughter and I are making camera bags. This would be great fabric for those. I think the camera bag pattern has those adjustable straps. We are just cutting now, so sorry I can't share how to do that. I think it has to do with rings.
Amy Butler fabric is what lead me to sewing... and her nappy bag was the first pattern I ever sewed! Thanks for the giveaway!
Thanks for the giveaway. Something interesting . . . I love bubble wrap and bubble wrap just turned 50!
Your purse and the fabrics are sooo pretty. Quilting is my favorite pastime but I seem to do more sewing for my grandchildren and embroidering burp cloths and other items and don't get to quilt nearly as much as I'd like. Guess it just makes me appreciate it more:)

Thanks for the lovely giveaway! I don't know how interesting this is, just some random info about me... but in 2 weeks I'll be moving to a town that was just destroyed by an EF-5 tornado. Hoping to help rebuild.

I wanted to say that bag is amazing. I love love love those colors
I am so sleep-deprived that I can't think of anything interesting to say. Oh the joys of having a baby and a toddler (although it's the toddler who's creating the sleep deprivation these days!).
Thanks for the giveaway!
Something interesting? Hmmm...as part of my master's degree at the Clinton School of Public Service I will spend 10 weeks next summer completing an international public service project :)
Beautiful fabric and cards! I need to make some bags myself--thanks for the review, it helps!
Thanks for the tips on the pattern it is always nice to learn from someone who had already done the pattern.
I love cheesecake and fabric. I hate my scale (cause I love cheesecake). My pocketbook hates me (cause i love fabric).
something interesting??? now that's a pretty hard answer. i'm really deeling the pressure and I can't think of anything. I'm sorry.
AHH!!!!
My parrot interrupts me when I talk. Thank you for a great giveaway!

Did you know the George Muller built 5 large orphanages without ever asking for money outside of his prayer to God and while being a poor man himself? I thought this was interesting when I saw a movie about his life.

Oh my gosh I LOVE that purse. I still need to find money to buy that book you got the pattern from. I've seen so many adorable things made from Amy's book. Your purse is beautiful.
The fabrics are gorgeous. What a great giveaway.
Hmmmmmm something interesting about me? I got to "retire" when I was 43 yrs old. :) Unfortuntately it was because of health problems but it still means I can sew all day long if I want to so that's a big plus.
Something interesting, hum...my sister got married this past Saturday. It was a very exhausting experience. Yesterday at work, my building received a bomb threat, and we had to evaucate by word of mouth. Very scary!
Thanks for the giveaway!
robyn.geddes(at)gmail.com

These fabrics are very pretty. And I do agree! The text fabric is to die for. These fabrics would make just about any purse pop! :D
Thanks for visiting my blog and hosting your won giveaway, great fabrics!!
What a great giveaway! I love these fabrics. Thanks for participating in SMS Giveaway.
Well, I don't know how interesting it is, but my one year old computer died last night in the middle of visiting all the SMS giveaways. I've now been on the phone with Dell for almost two hours attempting to get it repaired. Using my old, ancient, slow backup at the moment while waiting for yet another callback. Yawn. Thanks for participating in the giveaway! I need fabric therapy to get over my computer stress.
I love the fabrics - such pretty blues and greens. annesimonot@sasktel.net
