pattern

it’s that time of year…

to make you, your friend, or someone special, a new bag to tote around!!!

I’m super excited to share a tiny peak of my new pattern that will hopefully be available for purchase the middle of next week or so. 
I’m calling it the 241 Tote because it’s really two different looking totes in one pattern, gotta love that.  One version is with two exterior side pockets, and the other has two exterior zippered pockets!

Fabrics are from Cloud 9 Fabric‘s latest collection Cut Out & Keep by Heather Moore and they’re just as fabulous in real life as they are in pictures (fabrics available in April I believe).

Have a great weekend!

    So Sweet! I’m hoping to downgrade from black hole diaper bag to something like this very soon!

  16. Jessica says:

    I love the fabrics you chose. The cut of the bag kind of reminds me of the way Valerie from the last season of project runway cut some of her clothes…I don’t know if you watch PR, but if you don’t this comment is 75% dribbling nonsense. So there you go… Point is I like the bag 🙂

    Cute, lovely design!

  39. Another beautiful bag, Anna. I love the version with the two side pockets. Can’t wait to check this new pattern out.

  40. Krista says:

    Awesome! I’m excited for you to release the pattern. I think it would make a great park bag this summer.

    A question for you– do you ever put zippers into the tops of your bags? A friend of mine has been asking me to make her a bag for months, but that’s one of her requirements. Seems so hard, even when I look at tutorials.

  41. Heather says:

    Love the exterior pockets- Looking forward to it!

  42. V and Co. says:

    love it. very very you!!!

  43. Heather says:

    now THAT”S what i’m talking about!

    bring the pattern on!

    Xo, H
