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:
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.

ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway

ReplyDeleteWhat lovely fabric! I have an addiction to buying fabric - I just can't help it!
ReplyDeleteThanks 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?)
ReplyDeleteYour 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!
ReplyDeleteSomething 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

Lovely giveaway! Love the fabrics, especially the text one.
ReplyDeleteYour 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.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteYou 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!
ReplyDeleteThose 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.
ReplyDeleteThank 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 :)
ReplyDeletedid you know that a sparrow has three times as many neck bones as a giraffe?

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!
ReplyDeleteLovely 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.
ReplyDeleteInteresting fact of the day: Karoke means "empty orchestra" in Japanese.
ReplyDeleteWell, 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!

lovely fabric!!! fenna_otten at yahoo dot ca
ReplyDeleteAn 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?
ReplyDeleteCute 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.
ReplyDeletewow! such a pretty bundle! thanks for the awesome giveaway.

ReplyDeleteQ: What does a cow say when he's climbed to the top of a mountain?

Nice giveaway. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteInteresting, 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.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely giveaway!
ReplyDeletewow. those fabrics are very pretty. i love them.
ReplyDeletep.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!
ReplyDeleteI'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!
ReplyDeletenot sure if this is interesting but I think it's cute my girl has just started sharing her food! (she's 10months)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous giveaway! Something interesting...I only sew barefoot, gotta feel the pedal!

ReplyDeleteJust learning to make bags, so excited!
ReplyDeleteAll 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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.

ReplyDeleteThe bag is wonderful! And the fabrics are yummy!
ReplyDeleteAwesome 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!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous 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!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThis 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!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway. Something interesting . . . I love bubble wrap and bubble wrap just turned 50!
ReplyDeleteYour 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:)

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!

This is beautiful fabric - and cards. Something interesting: I signed up for Kathy's flickr photo notification so that I can see her new photos as added. She is so very talented!
