The other bag


Here is the elusive bag from last week. I snapped some really quick photos of it on Saturday morning at Purl, before the light was very good (note that fabulous wall covered with embroidery hoops - very pretty!). But you can get the general idea of this tote, which converts to a backpack by pulling on the straps.


This bag will be another class at Purl, offered on Tuesday nights in May. It includes a zippered interior pocket and several interior pockets for cell phone, pens, etc. And that cute buttoned pocket on the front. It's not difficult to make, but there are lots of parts to cut out (interfacing, etc.).


Hope you had a good weekend! We didn't make it out to Brooklyn as hoped, but we will go very soon. And I hope to take photos!

I happened to have been in Purl Patchwork last week and got a glimpse and a touch of your bag.

It's adorable.

I love it too....and happen to agree that you should offer the pattern for purchase. I know that this can be rather time consuming...and your plate is rather full but I just can't drive from Philadelphia to NY on Tuesdays....or I'd just take the class!

Thanks for sharing. I adore your work!

The bag is wonderful and I really like the way you put the fabrics together. You have a great eye. I cast my vote (again, she says, greedily) for a tutorial.

Oh yes! A tutorial for the convertible bag would be lovely for those of us landlocked in the midwest, unable to pop by Manhattan for (what I'm sure are) your great classes.
sigggghhhh.

you're killing me with all these great bags! and yes, we'd all (well, those of us way too far away to come to a class) love it if patterns/tutorials were available for purchase. perhaps sending out copies of your class materials wouldn't be too much extra work? would that be ok with purl? could i remember how to use the shift key?

Your bags look just amazing! I'm currently trying to construct a bag (trying to teach myself, got wunder web stuck to the iron last night.. whoops!) and these are inspirational. Beautiful fabric too. Briliant!

Love this bag - especially the way it can covert from a tote to a backpack! Think you'll ever plan on selling the pattern? I'd be very interested!

Yet another reader asking for a pattern - I'm moving to Brooklyn in August, but unfortunately for me, the class will be over by then. What a beautiful bag!

I would love to take your class, but sadly I don't sew yet. I ordered a sewing machine that should arrive this week. I am going to start off with small projects.

That bag looks fantastic!

I join the chorus of voices - the bag to backpack conversion is brilliant and I would love to make one. Please offer those of us who live to far away to visit a pattern!!

I love this bag. I was eyeing some of this fabric and some of the others in the photos. I think I might need to get myself down to purl real soon.

That's a brilliant bag, love they convertibleness, maybe just what i need for commuting, not sure if i'll have the patience for interfacing and many many pattern pieces though...

Just a thought... will the pattern of the bag be available for purchase? I live in England... a bit too far to come for a class...

I REALLY like it.

another vote for the pattern, or tutorial -- definately too far for me to come as I live on the west coast in Canada. I do have a thing for totes!
