Dotty Purse ~ Tester Photos

Here I will share some Dotty Purse tester photos! These ladies are so talented and they really helped me to shape up the pattern and take it to another level!

I love Ulrike's  Denim and Leather version of Dotty Purse. The grid quilting in denim really pretty and the denim leather strap is really neat and professionally done. Check out more products The Busy Sewing Room, she makes lovely bags and wallets. 


Maria's love for floral is contagious LOL. I just have to check her Instagram to be inspired! This Dotty Purse in Quilt as You Go Patchwork is really really pretty. Now you can turn those orphan blocks into something pretty and usable!



And the Boho Style Dotty Purse by Madhavi! She used her Indian fabric scraps and it turn out very unique! She has more unique bags and purses on her Etsy Shop.


This  classic beauty Black & White and Red patchwork Dotty from Crystal is a real winner! You must check her Instagram to see all her tiny patchwork blocks she made. They are gorgeous!!





That's all for today! More Dotty Purse photos, I will share in the next few post! I hope I can inspire you enough to dig out your scraps and start sewing those stash!!

If you love sewing, the chance is you have lots of fabric scraps! Now, here's one pattern that you can make totally from scraps. This Dotty Mini Purse  really need very little  fabrics. Barely one FQ for lining and the rest you can use the scraps. 

Add long strap for crossbody bag

I am a scrap hoarders, as you may see in many of my posts. Scrappy quilts always amaze me and now I can turn them into pretty bags!! Yay! This pattern is super easy that you can get it done in one afternoon (if the family leave you alone :D ). I made 5 so far with denim, linen, yarn dye fabrics, etc. I will share them in my next few posts along with the fabulous talented tester whom without them, this would not be possible! Stay tuned for the tester photos! 

The Dotty Line Up

Truly, writing pattern is not easy. I told Namrata of Bagstock Design, that I wish I paid more attention during the English class LOL. This bag pattern is written in a simple English, that I hope people whose English is not their first language can understand. 
The bag itself is pretty basic. I included basic patchwork piecing technique for those who wants to learn making patchwork/quilt bag. Really, it's not a rocket science. 



The lining is pretty straightforward, with card slot pocket. I took this out several times and got a lot of compliments! 


By the way Sequoia Lynn Sews is going to have sew along in her brand new YouTube Channel and we'll have giveaway on her Blog and Youtube! Be sure you'll check it out. I will re-post it here, once it's live!! So excited!! 

Happy Sewing!

Why blogging is important to me

In the past few months, the Facebook Group of Etsy Sellers have been about the changes in Etsy Advertising. Well, they say change is the only constant. As a seller, we can't do anything about it, because we can't control what the Etsy management or shareholders want, right? 
The same goes with social media ever changing algorithm. As a  user,  we simply has to adjust our step to match their changes. Last week, I found that some of my Instagram Story Highlights are blank! I updated the app and they are still missing. This made me think, that we can't rely too much on social media too. We work so much to make beautiful posts and suddenly one day we'll find they are all gone? What will you do?

I'm glad I still have my blog. Though I haven't been able to write so much recently, but at least this blog is here. I can easily look up  the archives or search the blog for my past works or simply to read my earlier posts. Many friends asked me how to promote their products. Well IMHO, there is no exact formula, simply do what you're comfortable with. What you want to do? What is your future goals? etc. As for me, I want to keep enjoying what I am doing while at the same time, giving something back to the crafting community through this blog by sharing few tips and tutorials. Frankly, my blog is still one of my biggest source of traffic when it comes to Etsy or my Website.

And here's the pouch that  I forgot to post!  Ehm, actually this post was in my draft folder and I forgot about it. Anyway, this another combo of denim and patchwork pouch. You can see the tips and video of another pouch I made in HERE.

Patchwork Pouch


Mini slip pocket for cards


Plain denim at the back

I really love working with denim and I'm glad there is one shop here which carry different kind of denims. But my fave is this dark blue denim. This pouch is very simple, it has one slip pocket inside. The size is perfect to carry your phone or passports. Well, we always need more than one pouch, right? I love making pouches and keep them. They make a great impromptu gifts and everyone love handmade pouch!

The pouch is available in my Etsy as well as in my Webshop

Thank you for stopping by,

Have a nice day!
