This is just a short bag edition.<\/p>\n
I took some time to trawl through IG for bag patterns. I do not, mind you, need more bag patterns, but I am still looking for the perfect ‘take my tools to Sew Day’ bag. Also, I can’t help it. Previously, I had done a search for bags on IG, which is a stupid search and librarians worldwide are cringing at my lameness. Obviously that didn’t work, so I went away and thought about how I could improve it using a moron-based search engine (e.g. no Boolean, no filtering). I came upon a solution quite by chance, though I am convinced my subconscious was working on it and came up with the solution.<\/p>\n
As I was trawling through IG, I saw a new bag pattern announced that I had never seen before. I clicked. Then I went to the pattern company’s website and looked through their bag patterns. Thus I discovered Country Cow Designs<\/a>. I wouldn’t name my company with a cow, but it isn’t my company, and cows aren’t terrible. They come across as sweet, if a bit large.<\/p>\n Country Cow has some basic tote bag and purse patterns. Nothing earth shattering. One of the bags I like and thought might work for a ‘take my tools to Sew Day’ bag is the Deskasow<\/a> (why not deskacow? Is a deskasow a thing or it just a surefire name that nobody else would think of?) bag. It is a new pattern and a couple of videos<\/a> on YouTube. The pattern (\u00a37.50) comes with SVG files and an AO file. The size seems to be about the size of the Kit Supply Tote<\/a>.<\/p>\n I also like the Kedemouth<\/a> (is that a cow disease?) messenger bag even though it has no inside pockets. The company has a variety of patterns: bowling shaped bags, backpacks, pouches, etc. They even have a couple of free patterns, which will tell you whether you like their directions.<\/p>\n Next, I came up with SincerelyJen<\/a>. She has the Rossatron Bag<\/a>. This is another one that could be THE ‘take my tools to Sew Day’ bag. This one is also about the same size as the Kit Supply Tote<\/a>.<\/p>\n This ad has a good number of pictures of the inside of the bag, which, you know, is a must for me. It looks like a Kit Supply Tote with a Superbloom<\/a> top and Take a Stand<\/a> pockets. Links to videos are included in the pattern. I also like the How YOU Doin’? Bowler Handbag<\/a>. I like the shape, but probably wouldn’t use it. She also has a variety of interestingly shaped pouches<\/a>, which would make great gifts.<\/p>\n I also saw a shop called K.Dill Handmade<\/a> that has bag patterns. I didn’t see anything I had to hold myself back from buying. I did think that the Jot it Down Ultimate Bundle<\/a> could be interesting for gifts. It is unclear from looking at the listing whether the pattern includes a size for a composition book<\/a>**. If so, I can see this as really being a useful pattern, however, I can’t tell where the company is based.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is just a short bag edition.
