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...

drawstring bag in four sizes {new pdf pattern}

Hello friends!

I'm super excited to show you my newest pattern today.


If you've been reading my blog for a while you know I greatly enjoy making (and using) drawstring bags. I love how quick and easy to make they are. Plus, they are perfect to keep projects on the go, toys, craft supplies, ... organized.


This pattern includes instructions on how to make fully lined drawstring bags in four different sizes. And, each bag can be made using just one print or is perfectly suited to be made using 2.5" squares if you prefer a more patchwork-y look (instructions for both versions are provided).


As I said before, I love using drawstring bags to keep my projects organized, especially my knitting. I made myself quite a few bags already and I keep all the supplies I need for that project in one bag.



I usually make the large size drawstring bags for my knitting, the medium and small sizes are perfect for smaller knitting or crochet projects, and the mini one is just the right size for all the notions.

This is an easy, beginner friendly pattern and here are the dimensions of finished bags:

mini: 4” wide x 5 1/4” tall x 2” deep
small: 4 1/2” wide x 8 1/2” tall x 3” deep
medium: 5 1/2" wide x 10” tall x 4” deep
large: 8 1/2” wide x 11 1/2” tall x 5” deep

Drawstring bag pattern is now available at my etsy shop or you can purchase it directly by clicking on the button below. The price of this pattern is $5.00.

Hope you will enjoy making these super handy drawstring bags as much as I do :).

Wishing you all a lovely 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...
