I'm so excited to be hosting this very special giveaway. It's my friend Ruby's first sewing pattern, and it's fantastic! The Mirabelle Messenger Bag has everything in one bag - and the directions are easy-to-follow with lots of photos. Great for an advanced beginner on up!
It is a great opportunity to practice your bias tape and piping- making talents, too.
Ruby walks you clearly through how to insert a strap adjuster...
... magnetic snap...
...and interior zipper pocket.
It's the perfect place to hide a surprise for a little friend...
...and the perfect bag for a girl with places to go!
The best part about this bag is that it fits kids and adults, and you can use a variety of fabrics, from cute corduroy prints to more refined cotton prints. Make your own bias tape and piping to coordinate with your fabric, and you'll have the cutest, most-versatile bag in town!
So...would you like to make one? Even better, would you like to win the pattern for free?
Leave a comment telling who you think you'll make this for and what fabric you envision using.
Giveaway will be open until Friday, November 16th at 12 p.m. EST.
Good luck!
I would make one for myself, using black fabric with bright colour piping!
ReplyDeleteI would like one for myself, too - maybe in Chicopee corduroy?
ReplyDeleteWith Christmas around the corner I would make one each for my sisters-in-law and one for me too! Fabric...I have been saving a Lotta Jansdotter print that would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this pattern! I am always looking for new bags to make. I make all everyone in my family bags and purses every year. This year would be damask upholstery fabrics for the gals and dark solid colors for the guys.
ReplyDeleteMost likely me, but maybe for my sister for Christmas.

This would be so perfect because I have been feeling pretty down about not being able to get anything nice for 5 grown daughters! I have lots of beautiful fabric stashed away but nothing special I could make them. This would be perfect and could be made special for each girl!

ReplyDeleteI would love to make this for my 10 year old daughter. I would probably make it in some fabric that would look very Cath Kidston as she would think that was VERY COOL!! Great pattern, can think of other little people in my life that would want one too!!!!
