Rocking the Owls - Gingercake
YaaHOoo! I finally finished the update of the Lola Owl Pattern. Email me for the coupon if you already purchased the original pattern and I will give you the coupon code for 75% off. I actually have had it done for several days but I wanted to finish up these bags to make a really cute photo shoot. These bags are fast! I admit that I love them. But this one is my favorite with the Amy Butler and the Osnaburg. I wish Anne was still in preschool since it would have been perfect to carry her little preschool folder! The strap is 30" and fits well over the shoulder of an adult or across the body of a child. Well there you go! Thank you so much for all the interest in making the pattern into a bag.

Needle Envelope -TUTORIAL! :D
Okay, so basically EVERYONE loved this thing. You can PURCHASE one at my Etsy, where I have one post that had about six different patterns - just let me know which one you want when you order! OR, you can make your own. Okay, soooo. Next, bias tape. Finishing touches: The felt I sewed in is 3.5x2.25 - I folded the envelope in order to decide where to put it, but it sits about 2.5" from the side. I would love FEEDBACK, COMMENTS, oh, and FOLLOWERS!

How to Measure
Measurements for a custom wetsuit should be taken while wearing a swimsuit or snug fitting, lightweight clothing . Always have a friend assist you as it is not possible to properly take several of the measurements by yourself. Always take the body measurements as accurately as possible. If you want to allow for undergarments or a loose fit you can communicate that to us, but give us the actual measurement and let us do the compensating. Use a cloth tape and pull it snug but not tight. If you give us an accurate height and weight we can doublecheck your measurements for mistakes. Linear Measurements It is easiest to take the linear measurements while standing behind the person to be measured, who should stand in a relaxed position with their arms at their side. Shoulder Tip to Waist: Place zero end of tape on shoulder tip and measure to the center of the back to the level of the smallest circumference between the chest and the buttocks. Ankle to Crotch. Circumferences Bicep.

I whipped up one of these bags right before Sewing Summit to carry my DSLR camera and thought you all might enjoy a little tutorial to make your own! They don't use much fabric, so even if your stash is small, you can make these bags! *For additional sizes and custom sizing check out the pattern version here. The best part for me of course, was choosing the fabrics! Optional: For added structure, you may choose to add interfacing to your bags, but it is not necessary.
