🧵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??

Thursday Thread A weekly note from Tasha Quilts Happy Friday Eve! For the most part, we had a busy but uneventful week. No hospital stays or major plumbing issues. We'll take that as a win! I haven't had a bunch of time in my sewing room, but I've started laying out blocks for a special project. At the day job we have a tradition where the first time someone has a baby a bunch of people contribute quilt blocks and we make them into a wall hanging. I'll be assembling the below blocks into a 4...

Thursday Thread A weekly note from Tasha Quilts Happy Friday Eve! Last week I mentioned that things were improving with my husband's recovery. Well, this weekend threw us another curve ball, and he had to have another surgery this past weekend. He's home recovering now and we're taking things one day at a time. Because of everything going on, I wasn't able to get a new YouTube video out this week. The past six weeks have been a good reminder that family always comes first. However, my sewing...

Thursday Thread A weekly note from Tasha Quilts Happy Friday Eve! Things are calming down here! The husband still is recovering from his battle with the lawn mower, but everything else has remained calm. I'm grateful for that. I'm so appreciative of a boring week of just the normal life stresses! This past week I decided to start publishing monthly videos on my second channel on the behind-the-scenes progress of "Tasha Quilts" the business. I'll be sharing wins, mistakes, numbers and lessons...
