My Newest Leaflet "Bags and Backpacks" is here!

 

After many months of waiting, I can finally share with you some really fun and quick designs to finish out the summer! The leaflet Bags and Backpacks is published by Leisure Arts and is soon to be available in craft stores and on-line. You can pre-order your copy from Amazon here. Included is eight new designs: totes, technology covers, 2 backpacks and a Celtic cabled messenger bag. Several are made using 100% cotton yarn.

One of the backpacks features a stitch that I an really excited about: broomstick in the round with BEADS! You can watch free instructional Youtube videos to help with this leaflet including this technique here. Or, you can find the video you need to help you with any of the stitches that may seem challenging on this site (in alphabetical order) under "videos".

Technology covers can be sized to fit your device...

 

 

 

 

This is one of my personal favorites...a backpack trimmed in jeweled beads!  I used paracord for the straps and love the way it turned out.  You can vary the color of paracord to contrast with the color of the bag.
