Sample Sale - Small Grocery Bags in Juliet Rose (Sold)

Juliet Rose in Natural (Sold)

Today there is not one, but two sample sale bags up for grabs.  Take one, or take them both, if you like.  There aren't really any rules.    

Both are made from a cotton/linen canvas called Juliet Rose, which I think is out of print and getting a little hard to find.  They are lined in Kona cotton in a color called Dragonfruit, which is my favorite hot pink.  They are the smallest size in the Grocery Bag pattern, so there are quite small but still quite useful.  I have two of these small ones in these fabulous cotton/linen fabrics and often use them as a purse.

Sample Sale - Striped Denim Grocery Bag (Sold)

It's been a long time since I've posted a sample for sale so let's rectify that with this denim Grocery Bag. 

In case you are wondering, the sample sale items are things I didn't list for sale in either my etsy shop or website. Sometimes I set them aside to post to one or the other, or both, and then well, it just doesn't happen! In the past, I shared them regularly here but fell out of the habit somewhere along the way.

So this bag is the large size in the pattern. The large size isn't huge since this pattern is designed for quilting cotton fabric that is 42" or so inches wide. But it's big enough and gets heavy when full. The denim ones are super sturdy and great for cans and jars.

The exterior fabric is a hickory stripe denim. A fat quarter--which is NOT enough for one of these bags--is available here and there is a link to a shop with yardage of this fabric in this blog post. I think she's taking a break right now, but hopefully will be back.

The lining is this fabric from Sevenberry for Robert Kaufman. 

This bag is $15 + $5 flat rate shipping (US). Order it using the cart buttons below. Sold - thanks! These buttons go to the cart used for my website and shipping is a flat $5, so you can add other things to the cart, if you'd like. Just as an FYI, postage rates went up again last weekend so I've gone back to calculated by weight shipping on etsy.  Eventually I'll do this on my website too, but it's more complicated to switch there so it could be some time. In both places there is still free shipping at $50.

Sample Sale - Denim Basket Bags (Sold)

Happy Thursday!  Today seems like a good day to show you these denim bags and also offer them as samples. 

Both of these are the same size, fabrics (denim and quilting cotton), and topstitching (red), but with different colorways of the lining fabric.  They are being offered individually, but if you'd like them both and both are still available, feel free to make them yours!  You'll just need to check out twice. One is sold out...thank you!  Sold out.

Sample Sale - Zip Pocket Pouch Wristlet Size 2 (Sold)

It's Sample Sale time!  Sold out. Today's sample is Size 2 from the Zip Pocket Pouches Wristlet pattern.

This size is the larger of the two sizes in the pattern. This size was added to the pattern not long ago, so if you have this pattern but only have one size, get in touch with some sort of proof of purchase and I'll let you know how to order the updated pattern for only the price difference. 

The fabrics used for the exterior are a print called Spring Bouquet by Sandy Klop for Moda and a light weight denim from Robert Kaufman. The inside is a patchwork of quilting cottons. 

This is quite large--at least for my patterns--and the main pouch is big enough for items 7.5" x 10" and up to 0.5" deep. Below it is shown with a composition notebook in the main pouch and a few other items for size reference:

Sold - Thanks!
