Say Hello to Sugarcane and Ash



Straps

up

and down.

Back pocket. 
And yes, fellow perfectionists: the print does meet at the seams and zipper flap. Remember when I said that print fabric is not for the faint of heart? Sometimes I read on blogs, people gushing, "I LOOOOOOVE funky print fabric!" and I literally gulp. They are so brave. I feel absolute terror when working with print fabric - it deserves the highest respect because it shows up your workmanship - good-ly and badly- like nothing else does. (This is why I am best friends with solids.)

Pockets.

And the lining - it's like cutting into a lemon

and having a burst of citrus hit you with a smile.

And that big happy John Lewis flower! It's ombre on rippled clouds :)

This is my current favorite of all the Bella Bags, I think. 
At least, until I finish the one in Orla! Can't wait.
Then I'll be able to list all five in the shop and you can pick your favorite to adopt!

  3. I love it! All those pockets are great. Will you also make it into a pattern. I'm pretty sure I won't beat the competition when you sell it on etsy...:(

  4. Cindy W Aus,
    I love the fabric that you have used for this bag and Yes I noticed how well you have pattern matched the fabric, not only with the zipper flap, but with the ends to the sides, WELL DONE!!!!!!!
    But have you released this pattern yet. Love your pattern!!!

  7. Just found your bag and blog on Pinterest and I fell in love! I absolutely adore your newest bag! Please, please, please (with a cherry on top) post this pattern! I live in Paraguay, South America and can't buy patterns that easy on the internet (PayPal hasn't got here yet) but I would really like to make this bag! Maybe you would even post it in your free pattern section? :)I even already have fabric that would go so well with this!

  11. Hi LiEr,
    Just to let you know, when I click on 'Skirt; Fitted Panel; Fabric' in Free Patterns it goes to 'Operation Summer Hair Rescue Part 3 - How To Make A Rose Hair Tie'.

    Like the bag!
