The Lily Pocket Purse Pattern is the newest from Lazy Girl Designs and is available for pre-order with a special label for all pre-orders!   A modest sized shoulder bag, it’s perfect for everyday use with plenty of pockets for everything you need to carry.

Soft curves, pleats and a wide band give this bag a flirty, feminine look.  The handle can be made long (42″) or medium (27″) depending on your purse carrying style.  Velcro closures are easy to install and easy to use. Joan Hawley promises she made the pattern “lazy” just like always.

 

The interior boasts two large pockets, a pen pocket and then lots of extra room because of the pleats.  Look closely and you’ll get a peek at the label you’ll receive when you order early.

 

 And two more pockets on the back… one large enough for a cell phone or little notebook, and one that will hold a pen or your lipgloss.

Four fun and fabulous prints are all you need to make the most of Lily.

1/3 yd of two main cover fabrics
1/2 yd handle and pockets
1/4 yd waistband

For a more varied look, use a handful of fat quarters. Keep in mind that you’ll need to piece the handle to the desired length when working with smaller cuts of fabric.

 And remember, all pre-orders receive a Lazy Girl Designs woven sew-in designer label.  Orders are expected to ship in mid-September.  Shipping on this one pattern is only $1.99.  So what are you waiting for?!  Order now and soon you’ll be running around town in style!

Now for the new bags…

Annie’s Bag Purse Pattern is another winning design from Purse-O-Nalities of Palm Harbor.  It’s so cute!  The pattern has lots of options.  The handle can be a standard two strap or a new one strap version.  The sides can be cinched in to make the bag look a little smaller and a little bit cuter with bows.  You can add a pocket flap, a zipper pocket and customize the interior.   Choose one fabric for the entire bag or dress it up with a few of your favorites.   Make it your way! 

Cruzer & Little Cruzer is a convertible bag that you can use in a variety of ways.   It makes a great gym bag, diaper bag, beach bag, overnight bag, or even a purse.   The straps are adjustable and convert from a backpack to a shoulder bag.  Lots of pockets, both inside and out, help keep everything organized and handy.  Choose your size… big or little… or both!

Girly To Go Purse Pattern is from Tiger Lily Press and is aptly named – it’s so “girly” looking!  Isn’t that all over ruffly trim pretty?   With a little tassle hanging from the front flap and handle bottoms that look like bows, you can’t get much girlier.  You get to choose from two styles. 

That’s just three new patterns, but there are a gazillion more purse patterns to browse.   So, first head over to QuiltersWarehouse on Facebook for your coupon code, and then browse the patterns

16 pages of things to do in this I Can Do It book.  Keeps little ones occupied for a long time and they’ll learn while they are playing!

 

 

This Child’s Coloring Bag holds eight crayons and two or three books.  So quick and easy to sew you can make several and have a few extras on hand “just in case”.

Three Quiet Games To Go with a tote, pieces and pockets.  Kids will enjoy the games and they can carry it themselves.

For the new Moms on your list, the Grab N’ Go Diaper Clutch will come in handy.  Just the right size to hold 2 or 3 diapers, some wipes, and a changing pad.  The pattern for the changing pad is included.

Now you might think you could use this as a gag gift, and perhaps you could, but Boomer Bibs will come in handy keeping dress clothes clean during a quick breakfast before you head to work or lunch at your desk the day you have an important client meeting in the afternoon.  Remember these come summer time – it might be fun to make a bunch and have them at a barbeque with messy ribs.

Here’s a couple ideas . . .

The Mini Miranda Bag is a gift you can give most any girl on your list.  Make it special for her – her favorite colors or favorite fabric theme.  And you know it will be easy to construct because it’s by Joan Hawley of Lazy Girl Designs.

 

With instructions for four sizes, you can use the It’s A Breeze pattern for a baby quilt in soft pastels and then in a lap size with bold colors for a teen.

Table runners make a great gift.  Little Charmers 2 has three table runner patterns (just like all the other “Little Charmer” patterns).  The construction is simple and each look is quite different.  That’s three people to cross off your shopping list!  Don’t forget to add a charm pack or two (or three!) to your shopping cart.
