Happy Bags

Yesterday I showed you Jane's Basic Clutch so today I'm going to show you the Happy Bag I made that matched the clutch and also some other Happy Bags I made during March.
The Happy Bag is designed by Rahimah at Imazzpatterns and she's another designer that makes bags for beginners. Her designs are simple and easy to make and the patterns are very well written with loads of photos.

Here's Jane's Basic Clutch I tested to match the bag.
I love this fabric.

The pattern for the bag has a magnetic button closure but as my customers want zippers in their bags I added a recessed zipper which is very easy to do and can be added to practically any style bag.

Inside has a couple of slip pockets. If you're a confident sewer you could add a zipper pocket on the other side.

As usual I quilt my bags as I don't have fusible fleece so this is a good way of keeping all the layers together.

This one I made with upholstery fabrics. This colour is really in this year.

This is another one I made in the same fabrics just that I positioned the front pocket to show the flowers differently.

Another one in upholstery fabrics. I love these large floral fabrics and they are proving to be really popular.

I also made matching makeup bags for these but I'll show you those another time.

Thanks for stopping by.
