New Sew Spoiled Shoulder Bag Prototype

Screenshot2011-06-05at10.07.52PM-2011-06-7-13-04.png
This is my new shoulder bag design! I am looking for a new bag name! If you have a bag name suggestion please share your thoughts. I love the shape and wave at the bottom of the bag. The possibilities of fabric color combinations are endless! I am still working on getting all of the details right but the templates are done! I plan to carry my new shoulder bag with me on all of my summer adventures.

The outer shell is made of Soul Blossom by Amy Butler, Buttercups in Cyan. The lining is the lemon fabric I found earlier this week on sale at Target as a tablecloth. I am so glad that I rescued it from being a tablecloth, now it will be toted around and adored by bag lovers everywhere!
Happy Sewing!

When you said "I love the shape and wave at the bottom of the bag" I think you just named the bag. Why not use wave in your name? Something like "The Wave should bag". Or just "The Wave"

What about "Summer Dreams Shoulder Bag" or "Summer Dreams Tote"??? It does look like a fun bag I could see taking on beach trips this summer or even to the pool with some sunscreen and my Kindle tucked inside. I can even picture carrying it down the Riverwalk in San Antonio. Summer inspired bags always make me dream of trips to be taken.

Even before I looked at the other comments I thought "The Summer Wave Shoulder Bag".
Whatever you name it, Leah, I'm buying the pattern. It is exactly what I need!

Oooh I love it, I can see the bottom part being made in leather (I was given some leather pieces and have been trying to work out how to use them!). I would call it the B-B-Bag (AKA the Big Bottomed Bag)!

That is a great name. I really suck at naming things so I'm glad you got some good suggestions. Were you able to get enough pattern testers? I would always jump at the chance to make something of yours Leah. I completely love your patterns. :)

Sweet Coin Purse Tutorial for Teacher Gifts

This time of year is so special to me because I get to show my gratitude for all of the hard work that goes into teaching my daughters. I love to make handmade gifts and this year is no exception. Since money does not grow on trees around here, I looked at my stash (I keep my scraps in hat boxes ) and tried to see what I had a lot of; small zippers, trims, Peltex strips ( from making iPad cases ), fabric scraps and some hardware for key fobs. So I set to work.  Materials: Plastic multipurpose 5" Zipper  Fabric Scraps Lightweight interfacing 808 Pellon Trims (We clipped  key fobs  with 1.5" swivel hooks onto our coin purses . There are tons of tutorials on making key fobs .) Step 1: Print out the Coin Purse Template  PDF.  Cut 2 main fabric, cut 2 lining and 2 interfacing using the template.  Optional: Cut a 2"X2" square of your choice main fabric or lining. This strip of fabric is used to clip a key fob to your coin purse later. We used a 1.5
