Handmade Happiness 4 - Pelican Tote Free Pattern

Hello and welcome to Handmade Happiness!


When Namrata of Bagstock Designs asked if I could test her new tote bag pattern, I said yes immediately. The Pelican Tote bag is an easy beginner pattern. When I saw the design, I wanted to do a quilted one but I didn't have much time left after finishing my last orders of the week.

Luckily I have a patchwork print fabric and decided to use that instead. I did a simple diagonal grid line quilting on the pink fabric and wavy lines on the denim. The denim I used here is a lightweight denim. The pattern is very easy to follow with clear photo step by step instructions. 


The bag size is also perfect at 15” W x 12” H x 3" D. 
. Though it said to be a market tote, but I think it will be good as college tote or maybe a diaper bag. It has a front zip pocket, interior zip pocket and a magnetic snap closure. Easy and Quick project. The pattern is FREE and is available at Bagstock Designs Website.

That's one of my happiness from last week. Now, let's see who's the MVP from last week post:

Sonalee made this beautiful tulip quilt based on tutorial by the Missouri Star Quilt and the photo she posted on her Instagram even got re-posted! How cool is that!!  The color is just perfect for summer quilt!

Handmade Happiness 02 - New Link Up Party

Hello and welcome to Handmade Happiness Link up Party.

In my first post of Handmade Happiness, the idea was to share some handmade items that are made using my pattern to give the maker more exposure. However I feel it was too limited. Hence the change of plan, which I hope will be able to give fellow crafters in India and worldwide a wider exposure. Especially one who just dip their toes in the world of mompreneur.

**************

Let me start with what I've been up to the last couple of days. I'am excited with my new passport cover which I shared last week and on Sunday, when the boys were busy watching IPL (that's an Indian cricket league), I have plenty of time to play.

Owl Passport Covers
I found the Christmas owl in while I was sorting out my scrap boxes and thought of making a mug rug or maybe another cushion covers. The prints are quite big and of different sizes. So I decided to make the wallet instead.

Passport Covers

The previous day, I made those 3 wallets with fun prints - sewing notions, newspaper print and Eiffel Tower.  Sorting out fabrics always a great motivator for me. Well, it also brings surprises to see fabrics which I forgot I have LOL. Those wallets will be up in my Etsy and Webshop as soon as I finished editing them.

On a quilting side, I made the 4th block of the scrappy log cabin project I started a few weeks ago. This time, I make a little prep work (yay for me!). Cutting the green and black & white scraps into 1.5" wide strips before I started sewing. I need to really make an effort to do prep work!

Work in Progress


I love how they look happy together :D



That's all from me, now it's your turn to link up.
