Inspiration

Hi all,

Today I'm sharing with you the link to Marisa's pattern hack for the Sling bag. If you remember she made her bag out of a pair of jeans keeping the lovely drawstring detail.

March is well on it's way to becoming a little bit of spring so it's time to share with you the bags my testers made when checking my March bag of the month club pattern for me.


Once again they've proved themselves some of the best testers in the world and although I could only have a few, they made up for their small number by being very pernickity!

Let's start with the ever reliable Maria from Mia Creates.

Lovely friends, I am possibly the luckiest pattern designer in the world, because I have such talented and generous pattern testers!

This pattern proved to be a bit tricksy and had a few fairly major design edits. My testers stepped up to the plate discussing improvements, things they thought could be bettered and some even went so far as to make a second bag when the edits had been made. That's commitment!

Thank you testers, I'm so grateful to you all!

I'm sharing some of their photos with you today, and the rest will be later on. I was so fortunate to have a wide variety of testers for this bag that it's too many to share in one post!

I don't usually have so many testers but some tested as a travel bag, some a nappy bag, some a large handbag. Their feedback was all so valuable!Read More
