I love vintage fabric and needlework. I have been fortunate to be gifted a few pieces over the years. However, most of my collection has been from estate sales or thrifted.

I talk a lot about how to thrift fabric and other supplies in my classes. I have decided to write a blog post about the topic, and will love to get your thoughts.

I used a green vintage floral fabric to make this seat cushion. The fabric is one of my favourite thrifted fabric finds. The colours are beautiful and the texture is so soft to the touch.

Do you thrift fabric? Do you have any questions about the topic?

This large quilted project bag holds everything needed for a large project. There is tons of room for tools and supplies, with inner and outer pockets.

Yesterday's reel was a quick flip through. Here are some close ups. In our previous post, we shared some bag details, so check it out.

What do you like about the design? What would you do differently?

Quilted Project Bag

In love with how this project bag worked out. The fabric really influenced the design. The bold floral print was perfect for the hand stitching. The hand stitching took some time, but was really worth the effort.

The back section of the bag was quilted with the sewing machine. There are inner pockets and one large outer pocket.

The bag is large, and designed to hold those bulky projects. It measures approximately 16.5" x 8.5" x 5"; which is great for bulky yarn projects, hand quilting projects, and so much more.

Do you guys think we should make a backpack version of this bag?

I decided to add some hand stitching to the front of the bag, including the front pocket. The last video clip is a closer look at the stitches. Perfectly imperfect!

Let me know what you think so far. Should I add more stitching? Would you have passed on the stitching all together?

Q: What type of markers do you use for your illustrations?

A: I have several different markers, but I use my Copic, Tombow and Sharpie the most (in that order).

Good quality markers will last you a very long time. I have had some of my markers for years. Because of the cost, I have collected them over a period of time; adding new colours as needed.

Do you have a favourite marker or colouring tool?

In our bag making session we talked about what goes into designing our own bag, thinking in terms of both style and function.

Starting the process off by thinking about the purpose, dimensions, and the materials needed.

I started sketching out a project bag, then went one step further by doing a coloured sketch of what it might look like in my desired fabric.

You do not have to be "good" at drawing, it just has to capture your idea. As you can see my sketch is no where near perfection, but it helps me visualize what my bag can look like. It also helps me think about the structure.

Have fun!

Would you be interested in seeing more of this process?

Do you know we offer an Introduction to Hand Embroidery and an Introduction to Cross Stitch class. These are private one-on-one sessions, and include a kit to get you started.

Vist our website (link in bio) for more details!

Tip! Vintage wooden boxes are a great way to store embroidery floss. Some boxes have separate compartments or draws, which make it easy to separate your floss by colour.
