Pattern Info

This project was designed by speaktohe39152.
Info can be found at:

Book Bag »

Instructions

Easily cut out from rectangle shapes, choose pretty beads to match the fabric.

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Funky, Outdoorsy, Romantic, Casual, Mod, Holiday


Materials

Cotton fabric, wadding (battoning) cotton lining, ribbon and beautiful beads

What was your inspiration?

I added a beaded bookmark to a book bag classic design so that you will never loose your place. The beads add weight and help it to hang down and look pretty when carried.

What are you most proud of?

Choosing the beads to match the fabric. When I take one out with me I am always getting asked where I got them from, they do make a wonderful gift for any book lover.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

To make the corners as square as possible before top-stitching them for a professional finish.
The pattern is available from our Notonthehighstreet.com shop and our other outlets including Etsy/lillyblossom and our own website www.lillyblossom.co.uk

I live in the US and would like to order this pattern (perhaps a few others). Is this available as a PDF purchase. What would the price be in US currency? Thanks!

I was thinking the same as Copiaque. I have lots of fabric laying around, maybe I could make me on, and add a pocket of the front for my notebook :D

Wonderful, we have made many for bibles and it's quite easy to adjust the sizing if you have sewing experience, once you see how they are constructed
