my craftsy class, yay !!!

Hello lovelies, remember when I talked about the amazing opportunity I had a few weeks back when I flew to Denver and recorded a sewing class with Craftsy ? Yeah, the class is now live and it all is super surreal, and exciting, and intimidating all at the same time, eeeeek !!! My class Giftable Projects: Zippered Bags and Purse Organizer is a six lesson class with detailed instructions and lots of tips on how to make three different zipper pouches. Would you like to see the pouches I designed for the class? Here we go.  Easy Coin Pouch with removable wrist strap is the first (and easiest project). I love this sweet little pouch and have made quite a few of them for my daughters and their friends already.  The second pouch I teach is Double Zip pouch which makes a perfect pencil pouch or make up bag. I'm also thinking it would make a great hand sewing supplies pouch. Oh, the possibilities :) Last, but definitely not least, is this Keep it Ne...

laura purse {new pdf pattern}

Hello everyone!


I'm super excited to introduce my newest Laura Purse pattern to you today. It's a wonderfully roomy everyday purse (finished size is 12" wide x 12.5" tall x 5" deep) with one zipper pocket and one slip pocket on the inside, and a super fun drawstring closure.


I've been using my Laura purse for weeks now and I absolutely love that it fits all my necessities and there's still room for a few extras.


Materials needed to make this purse:
fabric A (main exterior fabric) – ½ yard
fabric B (contrasting exterior fabric) – ½ yard
fabric C (lining) – ½ yard
interlining fabric (canvas, denim, or some other heavier weight fabric) to make your bag sturdier – ½ yard 
SF 101 interfacing (or other medium weight fusible interfacing of choice) – 2 ½ yards
one 8” long metal or nylon zipper
twelve 3/8” grommets or 7/16” extra wide eyelets
two 1 ¼” D-rings
two 1 ¼” swivel lobster hooks


♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Once again, I had a few super talented ladies test the pattern for me and I'm beyond excited to show off their beautiful makes. 

Ready? Here we go.



Ellyn made this gorgeously bright purse for her daughter. Lucky girl.


And then she went ahead and made another Laura purse using Michael Miller's fabric called "wove it or weave it" for herself. Just beautiful.



I'm totally smitten with Vicki's stunning purse. This fabric combination is absolutely divine and I love that Vicki added an exterior zipper pocket to her purse.


Oh, and look at this super chic purse Annette made. Lovely, isn't it? Those giant dots are fabulous.

Well done, ladies. Thank you for making such gorgeous purses and for your feedback.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I hope you like this pattern as much as I do, friends.

Laura Purse pattern is available worldwide as an instant download pdf pattern. You can purchase your copy by clicking directly on the link below or by going to my Etsy shop. 



Wishing you all a creative day. Svetlana

bagmaker tuesday no.6 (waxed canvas megan tote)

I've been meaning to make myself a new handbag for a few weeks now but, once again, I found it crazily difficult to choose just the right design as well as fabric. I wanted a sturdy medium sized bag with handles and removable crossbody strap, lots of pockets, and a zipper closure. Totally doable, don't you think? Oh, and I wanted to use waxed canvas for the main body as I love its water resistant quality and beautifully "rugged" look. So, after much back and forth, I finally decided to make myself a bag based on my  Megan Foldover Tote pattern. I skipped the installation of exterior zipper pocket as suggested in the pattern and added two large slip pockets to my front exterior instead. And while I love zipper pockets, I think this option is actually better for me as I use one slip pocket for my phone and the other one for my keys and this whole set up makes my everyday running around a bit less stressful. One thing that used to stress me when working with waxed canvas...
