Alexis Shoulder Bag, New Pattern

This is a new pattern for me Alexis. The fabric is Timeless Treasures. It is just beautiful. The flowers just jump out at you. The detail is amazing. This is a wonderful bag to carry and easy pattern to make.

The bag has a double shoulder strap with two slip pockets on the outside. Each has a closure.

The front has a large flap that closes the bag and the front slip pocket as well. The back of the bag has a button closure with a tab. Very cute.

The inside of the bag is fully lined with pockets. The large flap on the front of the bag has a magnetic closure.

This bag is so nice, great for the spring, easy to make. The bag is available for purchase.

Sew Along for January 2009

I am having my very first Sew Along in January. The sew along is an on line class that I am having for free. It is being held on my handbag yahoo group "Bags to Brag". I am very excited to do this.

The image above is the bag we are going to be making. I have so far 172 people signed up for it.

The bag is adorable. Zipper pocket on the front and more pockets on the inside. Flap closure with a magnetic snap.

I have noticed a lot of people were commenting on how they have never put in a zipper before. So this is new step for me to teach them how to install a zipper.

I think that the sew along is going to go very well. I have my moderators to help me along plus fabulous experienced members with years of sewing.

I never expected that 172 people would sign up for this.

My first session is going to be on January 3 2009. It is 4 sessions long which will be posted each Saturday of the month. They will have a week to complete each session.

If this works out I plan to have more.

I really enjoy what I do.

I also have some more exciting news, my group now has over 2000 members. That is amazing. What a way to bring in the new year. Yeah!

I will keep everyone posted of my results.

Free Bread Grocery Tote Pattern

Hi Everyone. I have added a new link category to my blog. Free Patterns by Jackie's Desighns "Posh Patterns" .

The first on my list of goodies is my bread bag. Everyone hates to have mushy bread so I made a bread bag to carry it in. It can also be used for a simple single wine tote bag. Very easy to make.

Also, we need to be thinking green, so this is perfect to go along with your grocery bags. Make one and send me a picture! admins@jackiesdesighns.com

For the link to the free pattern go to the right side of my blog and look for Free Patterns, click on grocery bag and it will take you directly to my website where the bag and the pdf file can be down loaded.

Have fun and enjoy!

Neena's Quilted Kitchen Apron

I have a new venue for my business. Neena's Kitchen accessories. It is going to be a full line of accessory's that you will be able to make. I am very excited about this line. It has been brewing for sometime now.

This photo is the first, it is a quilted apron. It will come in a variety of sizes sm, med, lrg, extra lrg.

This apron pattern set will offer a lot of options. I am not finished with it yet. I will post later when it is complete. This apron is quilted with two large pockets on the front with a tab and Velcro closures.

It is gathered around each side and ties in the back. It is just adorable.

I think this will make a fine addition to mothers day gifts.

Thank you for looking.

Evening Bag Scarlett

This is Scarlett evening bag. It is just gorguse. Beautiful layers of satin. A loop over a crystal button for a closure.

Double shoudler strap.

I absolutely love this bag.

I have been working on my website, it has so many new changes for my patterns. I now have a supply list when you click on a photo of a pattern you like.
The entire website has had an over haul. I am quite pleased. If you get some time please check it out.
