🧵What's Your Tried-and-True Bag Pattern?


Thursday Thread

A weekly note from Tasha Quilts

Happy Friday Eve!

I haven't gotten much sewing down this week. However, the husband did get to the doctor and got cleared to walk and drive - and hopefully he will be back to work in a few weeks. If you haven't been following along with this saga, he had an accident with this foot and his lawn mower. His big toe did not fare well in this fight!

While I haven't been sewing, my friend Fallon over at Sew Be It Quilts is stitching up some fabric she purchased from my shop. Her tutorial is coming soon, but I got a couple sneak peaks she said I could share. I love how the fabrics she chose go together!

Also, can we take a moment to appreciate how good she is at fabric photography? I wish my photos looked this good; I need to up my game!

What's Inspiring Me This Week

While I haven't had much time to sew, I have been spending quite a bit of time THINKING about sewing.

I'd really like to get into bag making. I have made a couple bags in the past, but it was a long time ago. Do you have a bag pattern you love? From zipper pouches to purses, I'd love to hear about your tried-and-true favorites!

Weekly Poll

Last week I asked about how often you organize your scraps:

  • 7% said you do it as you cut
  • 14% said after every quilt
  • 50% said periodically (quarterly, monthly, etc.)
  • 29% said you keep yours unorganized (I'm with you in this group)

Thanks to Dawn for suggesting this question! If you have something we should poll the audience about - let me know and I'll consider it to be featured!

In the spirit of scraps - how do you store them??

Happy Friday Eve! I recently searched the internet looking for the perfect wallet to make. I found the pattern on Etsy, bought it, and even spent two hours making it. Then I realize the pattern was not good. I wasted a lot of time. I reached out to the seller who apologized and promised they would take the listing down? Do you think that happened? Hear all about it in this week's video - UGH! This video has been taking off a bit (for me) on YouTube, and there are so many comments of people...

Thursday Thread A weekly note from Tasha Quilts on what I'm stitching and what is inspiring me! Happy Friday Eve! This week I experimented making a stained glass inspired (sort of) applique quilt block. It's not perfect, and I think I'd do some things differently next time. I think I would do the full flower and petal units together on the back and then cut them out instead of the individual pieces. I'd also change up the colors a bit. I'd love for you to tell me how you think I could make...

Thursday Thread A weekly note from Tasha Quilts on what I'm stitching and what is inspiring me! Happy Friday Eve! This week is an exciting week - my oldest turns 9 today! My daughter even spent her bookfair money on him yesterday to get him a present today. I did finish up this quilt recently - well, I outsourced it, lol. My friend Susan quilted and put the binding on this quilt for me. It is a Cotton Cuts Puzzle Mystery Quilt called Flyaway. I originally really didn't like this quilt because...
