Sewing my new favourite bag 🎀🪡
Last year I made myself the Bestie Bag from @bfpatterns and of course followed @hisydgraham’s tutorial on quilting and adding bows, and I decided I swiftly needed another one! Whipped it up out of a simple black cotton poplin from @spotlightstores - I should probably get a quilting foot for the machine though 😅

Pattern of the week: the @bfpatterns BESTIE bag 💕🫶
The @bfpatterns Bestie Bag is a banana-shaped carry-all companion with four views, so you can tailor its size, straps, and pockets to suit your needs and style. Make one for you and your bestie as a (very) thoughtful and useful gift.
And, because having the right sized bag for every occasion is what a girl wants, grab the expansion to make an adorable mini version of the bestie bag. This little cutie is perfect for those outings when you only need your keys, phone, wallet, and a reusable bag.

Where should I take my new bestie next??
Would I even be a sewist going on vacation if I didn’t stress sew something for the trip less than 12 hours before leaving???
This Bestie Bag sewing pattern from BF Patterns came in clutch as the *perfect* park bag for running around with my kids all over the most magical place on Earth.

Important bits:
Four fabulous kits will go live on our website on Wednesday 5th March at (approximately!) 8pm.

We’re so grateful to @bfpatterns for allowing us to use their brilliant Bestie Bag pattern and for providing a generous discount on the PDF (all details will be INSIDE the kit boxes, for obvious reasons!)

This #BestieBag by @bfpatterns was one of my last makes in 2023. I’ve been wanting to try the pattern since it came out, but it was hard to get to. I am so glad I finally did! I love everything about this bag. I love the extra finishes for the zipper, the topstitching, extra pattern pieces to make the strap attachment easier. It’s perfection. The instructions are also really good. I am a sucker for good illustrations in the instructions, considering it is my job, and I looooved the illustrations in this pattern.
I used a medium Bestie Bag bundle in Old School from @blackbirdfabrics and surprisingly the faux leather was easy to work with! The bundle provides you with everything you will need, but I did skip the sew-in interfacing and used the same weight of fusible interfacing I had on hand. I pressed it onto the faux leather with my iron of the lowest setting and used a pressing cloth. I did test it first to make sure it works!
Another thing I changed about my Bestie Bag, is I made a self-strap instead of a webbed strap. Also, next time I would change the pattern piece for the self-strap. When you fold ½” (1.3 cm) to the wrong side on each side of the 1.5” (3.8 cm) strap to finish it, it creates an uneven thickness within the strap and I don’t like it. So I would cut my strap 6” (15 cm) wide instead and fold 1.5” (3.8 cm) to the wrong side. This way the strap is nice, thick and even. I realized that after I cut the strap out, so to fix it, I lined the uneven side within my strap with 1” (2.5 cm) wide webbing to compensate for thinness. It worked a charm!
I believe today is the last day to get a Bestie Bag bundle with 25% off! If you are still on the fence, here is your sign to give this pattern a try.
This post was not sponsored in any way. I just love how my Beste Bag turned out.

a lil round up of some me made pieces I’ve been wearing recently… ✨🎀✂️🧵🪡
❤️ Red tie top blouse - I saw a very similar blouse in Dissh that I really liked the shape of, a linen blouse with a lower v collar and ties along the front instead of buttons. I had an old Uniqlo blouse in my cupboard that I never reached for, so I cut it up and based the pattern off it. I didn’t film much of it, but I want to make another one so could document the process for sure!
🩵 trusty blue striped Ganni tie top dupe - I think I wear this at least twice a week. Used a simple cotton from #SpotlightStores for this one!
🤎 Zebra set - I’ve been wearing my #TamaramaSet sooooo much, whipped up in a lovely cotton poplin from #WeAreTheFabricStore
🎀 Bestie Bow Bag - I LOVE THIS BAAAAG! My previous post before this was this lil cutie. Using the #BestieBag pattern from #BFPatterns
🖤 my Sabbi Raving Hearts Pants dupe - my favourite make of the year so far!!! I used the Tamarama Set pattern again and whipped these up in a black linen, and used a cotton tape down the side that I embroidered hearts into. Lots of work, but they are my FAVE!!! I’ll have to make a seperate post about them.
Making this post is bringing my sewjo back, okay off to make some more things hehe 🪡✂️🎀
