In a way this post is an adjunct to my regular Various & Sundry posts<\/a>. I did NOT buy these patterns. I just took pictures because there was something interesting about them. I have a record when\/if I need the type of bag.<\/p>\n

\"Modern<\/a>
Modern Mat Bag<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

First was a Mat bag. It is called the Modern Mat Bag by Sew Organized Design. This is the most likely pattern I will buy. I have wanted to find a good Mat bag pattern to make as gifts for people I want to encourage to go to Sew Day.<\/p>\n

Sew Organized Design<\/a> is a company I have never heard of before. I went and looked them up and found they only have a few patterns listed on their website. All of them are on-the-go sewing related.<\/p>\n

\"Hopscotch<\/a>
Hopscotch Handbag pattern<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Next is the Hopscotch Handbag. It is designed by Karen Pratt of Creamcraft Goods<\/a>. This another company which is new to me.<\/p>\n

I liked the shape and design of this bag. I have to admit that the quilting on the top really adds to the look of the bag. I saw one site<\/a> that sells this bag that had photos of the inside as well.<\/p>\n

Karen has a nice blog post<\/a> on another project called the Tri-Fold Journal Folio and Journaling tote.<\/p>\n

\"Rambler<\/a>
Rambler by Karen Pratt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As mentioned in the Picking Daisies post<\/a>, I saw more Karen Pratt patterns at that shop. Don’t worry, I am not going to tell you about all of the Karen Pratt patterns. I just wonder about how her bags came out of nowhere for me. I also liked the look of the Rambler pattern<\/a>. It is a small messenger type bag with inside pockets for your phone and other small items.<\/p>\n

I think including the hardware is a good idea, especially for new bag makers, however it means you are stuck with the chosen color rather than selecting the hardware finish you like.<\/p>\n

\"Tube<\/a>
Tube Frame Pouch by Karen Pratt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The other pattern I saw at Picking Daisies was the Wide Open Tube Frame Pouch<\/a>. Since I am enamored with open wide bags at the moment, this one caught my attention. This open-wide bag is in pouch form. As shown and described the bag opens fully so you can see everything inside. It would be great for a knitting project bag.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The Side Hustle by Mrs. H.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Side Hustle is a Mrs. H pattern. Mrs. H has a lot of patterns, a bag club, a book and bag retreats. The Side Hustle is a messenger-style bag<\/b> that is designed for carrying a laptop and files. I really like the name of this bag, but also that rounded slip pocket on the front in the photo.<\/span><\/p>\n

These bags have really widened my horizons in terms of bag designers. I know there are only a few. This is another reason I like to visit quilt shops when I travel.<\/p>\n
