New sewing pattern: All Day Out Bag

11/14/2013

I am really excited to introduce you to my latest sewing pattern, the All Day Out Bag! This pdf sewing pattern is now available in my pattern store.
But before I will tell you a bit more about this pattern, there is this:
Not too long ago I asked you to suggest names for the bag and I would like to thank all of you who did so! It was a tough choice but in the end I picked a winner:

Congratulations Norma! You will get the pdf pattern for free, I will send it to you right after I am done finishing this blog post :)

The most striking feature of this bag is probably the front pocket with its slanted edges but you will dicover a lot more awesome details to this pattern: in addition to the roomy main compartment there is another slip pocket on the inside as well as a divided elasticized pocket. On the back there is a 3D shaped pouch, which will allow you to store even more items in this spacious handbag. The strap is attached with two rivets on either side.

The pdf file comes with 30 pages of instructions, 61 pictures and 9 pattern pieces. All measurements are given in centimeters and inches.
The finished size of this bag is 24 x 32 x 8 cm/ 9.5" x 12.5" x 3.25" (height x width x depth).

Supplies needed:
- Exterior fabric: 1.20 m or 1 1/4 yd
- Lining fabric: 2/3 m or 3/4 yd
- Fusible fleece e.g. Pellon 987F: 2/3 m or 3/4 yd
- Fusible interfacing, e. g. Pellon 931 TD:  1.80 m or 2 yd
- 2 O-rings (2.5 cm / 1” diameter)
- 2 magnetic snaps
- 1 piece of elastic (1 cm (3/8”) wide): approx. 32 cm or 12.5”
- 4 rivets

Thank you to all my testers who were such a great help, as always! Please check out how beautiful their bags turned out:

Carol says she has a preference for bright colors. I think her bag looks awesome, especially with the contrast of exterior and lining fabric!

Sarah from Prairie Girl Knits used velvet and a wool blend for her bag. She mentioned that it was a bit harder to sew with these kinds of fabrics but I think the result looks gorgeous (have you noticed those sparkly rivets??)!
Picture
My "neighbor" on the other side of Lake Ontario - Natalie of Carry Hers By Natalie - also used a wool blend for her bag! I am really amazed by how good this design looks when using fabrics other than cotton. Natalie's bag will surely make a nice "winter bag".

Janet's version looks so sophisticated! She used a black/charcoal pin stripe for the exterior and a green cotton fabric for the lining, the pockets and the bag flap.

This is Tonya's bag. She used a burgundy fine wale corduroy and a brightly colored cotton print as a nice contrast. Her granddaughter liked her bag so much she declared it her own :)

Jenniffer's bag comes in plaid wool fabric that she found in a thrift store! Look how perfectly she lined up the main panel and the slanted front pockets! I like pink so needless to say I love her bag :)

Denise made this pretty All Day Out Bag. It comes in a blue cotton fabric and she used a twist lock for the bag flap. Nice job!

Kim used contrasting fabrics for her All Day Out Bag. She said she especially liked the pleat on the flap of the pouch. I am glad to hear that :)

Erin used faux suede and quilting cotton for her bag. She also decided to use piping to embellish the top edge of the front slip pocket. Very well done :)

DeeAnn used blue shades for her All Day Out Bag. I especially like the look of the pouch with the paisley pattern. She made the lining show at the top edge of the front pocket on purpose which adds a nice touch to the bag!
Picture
Renae made this colorful bag. The floral pattern comes in green and pink shades and is a real eyecatcher!

This is Heidi's wonderful bag. I don't know what I like more about her bag: the great pattern of the fabric or the fact that the fussy cut on the front just came out perfectly!!

And another one with perfect fussy cut on the front!! Dee used IKEA furnishing fabric for her All Day Out Bag. I love the color combo black, white and red!

The last one in the row is Patti's bag. She said she really likes the shape of it and the fact that it is so roomy. Patti stitched the strap instead of using rivets.
You can purchase the pdf pattern in my pattern store. Do you like this design? I would love to hear your opinion!
Happy sewing :)

They all look fantastic. It always amazes me when I see these posts how different the same pattern looks when interpreted by each sewist. I love the inspiration. Thanks Anna for another great pattern.

Just revisiting your posts and thought I would let you know that this bag has been my every day bag now since it was made for the testing. I still love it. The size is perfect for carting all my bits in AND it even fits my new iPad Air too. It is starting to look tired... guess that means I need to make myself another one.
