Pattern Tester Photos
Behind-the-scenes...The shop is limiting the number of SIRINA bag photos to 9 only 😭So I'm adding some of the beautiful pattern testers' photos here. You'll love these fabric choices and all the pretty details!
First on, the SIRINA bag sewn by Ulrike @thebusysewingroom, for her daughter, on her beautiful, vintage Singer machine. She used black faux leather, and polka-dot piping on the pockets and strap for a bit of fun:
And this SIRINA bag was sewn by Cara @earlybirdstitches, in a beautiful blend of the Essex Linen and a floral cotton print from Art Gallery Fabrics. She opted for a magnetic snap at the top - one of the two options in the SIRINA pattern:
The SIRINA bag sewn by Noelle @olddogsewing, in cork and thin embossed, printed leather exterior with a waterproof-canvas interior. Sewn on her domestic Bernina:
The SIRINA bag made by Mellissa @melandsolwhistleandstitch, she used canvas and faux leather. Also, she's just about to open an online shop, I can't wait!!!
The SIRINA bag made by Moira @sewuniquebymoira, using a beautiful vinyl with silky texture and printed cork. What a stunning make:
Next, the SIRINA bag made by Karen @kaybecreationsnz with faux leather and a floral print, a marvelous combo:
This is the back side - so pretty, too!
The SIRINA bag made by Michelle at @mgrahamsews: stunning!
She also runs a great Youtube bagmaking channel @mgrahamsews, take a look and subscribe (you might already know her if you've been sewing bags for a while!)
These are the people who've helped me make this bag pattern the best it can be. From tiny details that make your reading easier, better language, spotting where I typed "on the left" but meant "on the RIGHT", and all other improvements that can turn a good pattern into a great one.
I will always, always feel such appreciation for what you gifted me with. Without you, my pattern business would not have been possible. Thank you.
Conclusion
It's been so long since my last bag pattern release, and some of you have been asking when the next one is coming. Thank you for the encouragement and support! ❤️ I hope you'll love the SIRINA as much as I do.
