The free online pattern is the Reversible Bag by Novita @VeryPurplePerson
Fabrics:
Black Yarn Dyed Essex Linen
Park City (Orchid) from the Rustique Collection by Emily Herrick for Michael Miller Fabrics
I've hand stitched detail around the handles.
Thread:
Aurifil #2024 - White
DMC #5 - Black and Lime Green
Catch a look at my labels and my view!!!
Taking time to fussy cut the lining so the Park City fabric pattern is centred on the bag and the handles gives a great finish.
I've shared this pattern with you before - read about it here and here along with fabric info.
I'm struggling now to give this one away now!!!
Have you ever made something and then kept it for yourself?

It's a great pattern Chris. A few years ago The Quilters Guild tombola for the FOQ was 'something you would like to receive' Having made a very pretty flying geese tissue box cover I decided that I was going to receive it and sent a cheque for the tombola instead! xx
ReplyDeleteLol, well I did hand over the bag Lin to my friend Pat and she absolutely loved it, made giving it up very worthwhile :D
DeleteThat's a great bag - thanks for the link! I might just make a couple as gifts...they'd make great shopping bags, too.
ReplyDeleteI thought I'd seen the bag before! The fabric combination is really striking - no wonder you want to keep it - yes I often feel the same and if something doesn't sell on Folksy I seem to develop a need for it somehow!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on that, you should see my quilt pile, it's sooo hard to let things go :D
DeleteI love your fabric choices for the bag, I really must check the pattern out myself.
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely, might be a thing to add to my stash busting list - thanks.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great bag. I would really use a bag like that.
ReplyDeleteI love the gorgeous fabrics you've used and it's a fantastic looking bag!
ReplyDeleteLovely bag! The contrasting colour combination looks great!

I love the fabrics, and I definitely need to check the pattern. Thank you for sharing at The Really Crafty Link Party!
ReplyDeleteI've made one similar years and years ago! Thanks for sharing! I love that it's reversible, your fabric choice is perfect!
ReplyDeleteLoving the grey fabric with bright inner - I'm not surprised you are struggling to give it away!!
ReplyDeleteI crazy love black dyed essex linen, it goes with everything and adds texture to any project. I've used it for several bags and quilts too :D
DeleteWhat a great bag and love your fabric choices! Thank you for the link!
ReplyDeleteGreat project! Thanks so much for sharing it on the #HomeMattersParty
ReplyDeleteWhat a great bag Chrissie and thanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteThis is great, I love the wide strap, I find the wider strap so much more comfortable than a thin strap. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteTotally with you on the wider strap, sits much better on the shoulder :D
DeleteI've used this pattern a lot and so much fun in any type of fabric
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, and I've been looking for a slouchy bag for a while now... think this may be it! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you make it and what you think. I think it might be good layered with a thin cotton batting too to give it slightly more body, haven't tried it yet but might do one of these days :D
DeleteThank you so much for sharing, I always need quick go-to gifts 😅
