Good morning and happy Hump Day! Hope everyone has a day that they can handle. In regards to the actual project, I really like this one. The bag is just the right size for a paperback & a snack. Using a textured fabric combined with the quilting cotton is a big "Yes, please!" for my tactile heart. Having two different prints adds to the visual appeal as well. The clip-on charm and label give just a bit of "oomph" to the finished bag. As if that weren't enough, there's the matching bookmark as well. This would make a lovely gift. As for the fabrics, well. Objectively yes, pastel pink & mint green go well together, but it's just a little too frou-frou for my taste. If this were mine, I'd use the green and replace the florals with fat quarters from my stash. Well. It took me literally 2 hours to watch the whole 17 minute video and type this little comment, because I kept pausing to look more closely at the contents, and compare one of my fat quarters to the green to see if they'd look good together, and pop over to the Sewers Club website, then backing up the video a bit to see the finished size of the bag...
I nearly spit my drink out while waiting on Juniors check up when I saw it took you so long to finish the video, you could have just asked me for dimensions and colour comparisons. I still can if you like. The colours look so good in real life and the green, while still mint, leans a tiny bit warm and blue rather than yellow, if that helps. Navy might actually be really striking actually, I'll have to test that out after dinner.
@@fredmakesthings While two hours is extreme even for me on such a short video, the pausing, rewinding, popping over to a relevant website, etc are typical. Generally speaking a 20 minute video takes me about an hour, hour-fifteen to watch the whole thing. What can I say, I believe in getting my money's worth LOL
For me this is more like a book cover than a tote - I would use this for my bible & papers to take to church. I think of a book tote for library books or shopping at the book store. Cute project and the fabrics are really nice. So the notions part is the needle holder and point turner? Certainly got your moneys worth there and for the main project. Thanks for sharing!
I too think of a tote for books as much larger, October(?) 2022 was a larger book tote that they styled with library themed fabric, it was really cool. I think this would be a great size for church! And the I think the notions were pretty great too. Thank you so much for watching ❤️
It’s not traditionally directional, but in my mind it sort of is because it only looks nice in one orientation. Like I couldn’t rotate it and still have it look nice.
Great question! Yes, they are. Many patterns in Canada have both inches and centimeters to accommodate the US/Canada market. It’s really common in Canada to also leave the metric measurements out, in favour of imperial. It’s a quirk left over from the transition in the 70’s/80’s. We measure height and weight in imperial as well, but are pretty good at quick conversion and understanding the differences. Just don’t get me started on temperature or distance. 😁

It looks really cute.
I might have to try and get this kit
I just finished it, it's a really simple project. So if you can't get the kit, the pattern would still be able a great guide to follow.

The fabric is not technically directional because it alternates right side up.

Are all the measurements in inches and yards given that this originates in Canada?
Great question! Yes, they are. Many patterns in Canada have both inches and centimeters to accommodate the US/Canada market.

@@fredmakesthings thank you for your thorough response--appreciated! 😻
Suggestion: explain less, show and explaining as you show. However, good idea.
