Some of you might remember last summer, when we told you about Sara Lawson (a.k.a. Sew Sweetness) and her Kickstarter campaign to help launch her sewing patterns business. Many of you supported her by pre-ordering sewing patterns, and others may have seen her bag sewing patterns popping up everywhere in 2013!

Velocity Girl Bag

I’ve halfway lost track, but I know that she’s put out a new pattern every week for about 9 weeks or so. Amazing! I decided to make myself a new everyday bag, since my old was has been in use for at least 4 years, pretty much non-stop.

Velocity Girl Bag

I chose to make Sara’s Velocity Girl Bag pattern, because I liked the size and shape of it, and it has plenty of pockets to keep all my odds and ends.

Velocity Girl Bag

I ordered some Melody Miller fabric (Ruby Star Sparkle / Ruby Stories Skate-A-Thon) and interfacing from Sew, Mama, Sew! and go to work. This pattern, like all of Sara’s bag patterns, has step-by-step photos, so it is super easy to follow. I installed a metal purse slider and a zippered pocked, both for the first time, and had no problems along the way!

Velocity Girl Bag

Can I tell you how often I lose my cell phone in my purse? I can’t believe how long it sometimes takes me to find my phone, even when I know it is in my purse and I can hear it vibrating. I adore these side pockets on the outer purse, which are the perfect size for my phone. Now, I only have to look two places to find it!

Velocity Girl Bag

I did make a couple of simple modifications to the pattern. I decided to add metal rings and strap extenders on both sides of the purse instead of just one. That’s the way my old purse was, so I figured I would be used to it already! I also added a piece of yarn as “cording” in order to make piping for the tops of the outer pockets. I don’t think this made a huge difference versus the  flat piping called for in the pattern, but I do think it helped my fabric strip keep its shape a little bit more, since I used a thinner cotton for the piping.

You can find the Velocity Girl Bag and many other patterns–including a camera bag, a travel bag, a paper-pieced clutch and more–in the Sew Sweetness Pattern Shop! All PDF patterns are available for immediate download, so there’s no waiting or wasted paper. You only need to print off what you will use, which was just one page, in my case!

 

Giveaway!

Sara is generously giving one lucky winner a complete set of 9 sewing patterns from Sew Sweetness!

Fill out the Rafflecopter form below for your chance to win. Good luck!

Hi, I’m Lindsay Conner, an author, modern quilter, editor, and founder of the Lindsay Sews blog. I’m a Baby Lock ambassador and Stash Books author who loves writing modern sewing and quilt patterns for beginners and weekend sewists! I live in Indianapolis, Indiana with my husband, son, and two loveable cats, Murph and Chloe. I’ve been crafting for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I saved my dollar bills for trips with my mom to Jo-Ann Fabrics, where I’d find new floss for friendship bracelets or mini cross-stitch kits. Because my mom has always shared my love for crafting, she bought me my first sewing machine, a Hello Kitty Janome.

    What a super giveaway! Your purse is so lovely! What a great job and love your fabric choice as well. I have not yet made a purse. I really do want to make one and I’m not sure why I’m nervous about it. I guess I just need to go for it, hehe. Fingers crossed!

    Thank you and Sew Sweetness for an awesome and generous giveaway and a chance to win.

    the bag I had the most fun making was based on a Kumiko Sudo novelty pouch. Her cicada, I took the original and blew it up until the five in finished pouch became a 22 in finished bag.

Her friends are always commenting on her bags. I’d love to have an actual pattern to learn some good solid skills of how to do certain things. Maybe I’d make one for ME!!!!

    I would love to try making one of these purses. I have a new machine, but I want to make things besides quilts.

    Your purse is awesome! I looove the fabric. My motto is “A girl can never have too many bags”. My closet is a testament to that. I love to make them and give them as gifts (or keep for myself;o).

    I have only made 1 purse but wasn’t very happy with how it turned out. My material choice was bad and it was way too big. I love the locked and loaded pattern.

    I started to make a purse a few weeks ago but panicked! I loved the fabric so much and since I wasn’t following a pattern I was worried I would mess it up! It became a quilted pillow. I would love to try a purse again (this time with a pattern)!

    Hi, I have a few bags & pouches. Actually the 1st bag I made, I had a question about interfacing. I took a chance & sent Sara of Sew Sweetness an email late at night. She actually responded the same night & gave me some encouragement. I have followed her website ever since. Thanks!
