I'm excited to share my newest Island Batik Ambassador Blog Hop project! It's called the Flipped Out Bag and it's a pattern from By Annie.com.
By Annie was amazing in sending the ambassadors the pattern, stabilizer, and all the accessories we would need for our bags! Thank you so much! I chose the Flipping Out bag because it looked like a great way to store some of the supplies on my sewing desk and an easy way to take them with me when I go out and about with my sewing machine....or when I will again. I made the large size so it would fit my tall tools.
All By Annie patterns have these fabulous little labels you copy and cut out and then use to label all your pieces. They were certainly helpful in knowing which piece was which!
The pattern also had me premake the little binding rings. What a good idea when the binding is so small. There were videos to go along with my bag called Add-On Videos that were well worth it! Since this was my very first By Annie bag it was really nice to be able to see some of the steps I wasn't quite sure about. I highly recommend the videos. When you purchase your pattern a coupon is included for you to log into the By Annie website and get the video for free. It was really easy to do.
Here's my bag all zipped up! This fabric is from Island Batik's new Buttercup collection. It's a range of soft blues and yellows and I'll show you more next month!
All done! It will hold my spray bottle and magic wand when it closes too! It's just what I wanted and it already sits on my sewing table.
Island Batik is giving away a fat quarter bundle of Buttercup and on of Floralicious this week! Check it out:
I'm also giving away four fat quarters from the lovely Buttercup collection. Comment on my post by the end of the blog hop for a chance to win!
Be sure to check in with all the other Island Batik Ambassador's as the blog hop continues!

I haven't done much sewing at all and really miss being with my fellow quilt guild members.
ReplyDeleteI love your new bag. These are awesome, a bit fiddly to make but, so versatile. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI can see so many uses for that bag. I love it, great job.
ReplyDeleteThat flipping out pattern is interesting. The pandemic has made me look at more zoom connections and more ordering online than I have done before.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! This looks very handy, and I love that taller tools fit in it.
ReplyDeleteLove it! (You were up pretty late!)
ReplyDeleteCute little bag - very handy, I have been sewing up a storm since Covid hit - finished so many projects I HAD to buy fabric!
ReplyDeleteI love that bag. I'll have to check it out. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThis looks very useful! Keeping tools organized and easy to grab and go!
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect! I love it and might be tempted....
ReplyDeleteIt's such a cool bag! I'm sure I can use that one. Yours looks awesome with the lovely blue and yellow. I will look it up on ByAnnies.
ReplyDeleteLove this! I have a Sew Together bag but it's not big enough for taller stuff, like the spray bottle. I just might have to do one of these!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a cool bag! I'm sure I can use that one. Yours looks awesome with the lovely blue and yellow. I will look it up on ByAnnies.
ReplyDeleteon my way to Annie's website...i must make one of these...yes, in Island Batiks!
ReplyDeleteGreat bag. I like how tall it is.

Instead of quilting, I have been making masks for neighbors, friends, and family.

Wow Suzy, you did an amazing job with this bag. I have never seen one that folds down like that.I love the way it looks and the fabrics are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing today and for your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI have looked at these bags before but I never realized Annie's patterns were so good as you explained to us. I will definitely reconsider making this bag. I know it comes in 3 sizes. Thank you for your explanation! Blue+ yellow are my favorite color combo. I would love to win this.

The pandemic has affected my quilting life in that I haven't been quilting or, buying fabric (stores are closed).
ReplyDeleteCute project, I made one similar with IB fabrics a couple years ago, different pattern though. I miss sewing with friends.
ReplyDeleteThat is so neat! I never saw anything like it. It would be so handy.
ReplyDeleteMy quilting life is the same. Pretty bag, love how it could stand up then zipup to contain the stuff. 24Tangent@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThis is quite unusual but very useful
ReplyDeleteAdorable AND functional. Double win!
ReplyDeleteThe pandemic has affected my quilting life in I'm using more scraps, less shopping. Also I never thought I'd be Zooming so much in my life. So grateful for my guild, LQS, and TAS groups for figuring out how to do Zoom meetings & classes!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a very cute and useful bag! Yours is beautiful, you did a good job on it!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a bag like that - very cute, and nice fabric!
ReplyDeleteFabulous case; I think it is genius that it stands up like that!
ReplyDeleteLove this bag! What a great idea to have it all together, standing up!
ReplyDeleteYour bag seems very handy, and Island Batiks make everything better--prettier, sturdier, and more classic.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun holder! Nice job!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so handy! Thanks for sharing how you made it!
ReplyDeleteTurned out wonderful. I love ByAnnie patterns.

I am sewing more during this pandemic, including making more bags. I love these batik fabrics. I've been a fan of Hoffman for years and now need to add these Island ones to my next purchase order. This inside out bag is stunning and so clever. It's one of the more interesting bags I've ever seen. I love that it looks like a pencil case that stands up, then can be zipped to go. Brilliant!! Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a really fun and useful bag!
ReplyDeleteThe pandemic has given me more time to see but I find it more of a challenge getting supplies. There are some things you just can't buy online.
This Flipping Out bag is a very unique idea! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYour bag is beautiful, and I'm surprised by how much it holds! It's so easy to see and find everything too. This is perfect for sewing supplies, or many other things!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great bag. Thanks for the details. They definitely make it seem less intimidating.
ReplyDeleteDuring the pandemic I have been using what I have. I sure miss having people with like interests to talk to in person.
ReplyDeleteHello Suzy. Your bag/organizer is super cute! It sure looks handy. Have a fabulous day.
ReplyDeleteI lost my sew-jo when this mess all started. It's starting to come back, finally.
ReplyDeleteI have had much more time to make quilted pieces!!
ReplyDeleteLike someone else said, I was surprised by the amount it could hold. It is a cute way to handle the things we like to have by the sewing machine, keeping the area neat and the tools close by. I have spent the time making masks for neighbors, friends, and family, but I think I have run out of steam. I need to finish a few more masks, and then I want to put the blocks together for the quilt I am making for the Youth Detention Center. Nancy A: SewingGranda@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThe only difference is I am outside in our garden much more and loving the summer months. When not outside I am in my sewing room more.

What a sweet bag with beautiful fabric. Since the pandemic began I have been quilting so much more. The only thing that is different was ordering fabric online instead of fondling fabrics in store. I also wound up working with my stash a lot more.
ReplyDeleteNeat-O bag. Very useful. The pandemic has made me not be able to focus. I want to focus & sew & quilt. This year has flew by. Hopefully I can get fabric soon & focus to sew & quilt with it. I really hope so. Pray for me to be able to focus please. angielovesgary2 atgmail dotcom 🌻
ReplyDeleteI’ve never seen an organizer like that. Great colors, of course I love the Batiks you used. It has so much room, perfect for classes.

ReplyDeleteSuch a cute bag. This quarantine has had me making masks and PPE.... gowns and scrub hats/caps.
ReplyDeletecongratulations!super comfortable !great fabrics
ReplyDeleteThe pandemic has me using more of my stash and stocking up on battings and essentials in advance of the dreaded "wave 2". Enjoying the outdoors as much I can while the summer is here - indoor quilting will happen soon though!
ReplyDeleteApologies if this posts twice. It didn't want to go through the first time. Love these practical quilted items. Great colors and so useful!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to corral your tools! Lovely bag.
ReplyDeleteVery handy way to store tools or take on retreat.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great looking useful bag! Love it!
