Pattern Tester Bags!!
I had some wonderful ladies pattern testing for me. Thank you so much to all that tested, I am so thankful that you were so willing to help me at the last minute, while I was away from home, and totally unorganized. You made some amazing bags and had some amazing feedback for me. Thank you! I'd like to share some of the tester's photos. There were a lot of GORGEOUS photos and I hope you will all feel free to share them on the Facebook groups and elsewhere, I am just going to put up 1 or two of each.
Simone always chooses the most unique fabric, and has a real flair for colour. I am always excited to see what Simone puts together!
Melisa used some beautiful Tula Pink fabric, and seeing how her bird needed to take centre stage here, she move the straps apart a little bit wider than in the instructions, and also made them a bit longer. I would definitely consider making the straps longer if you wanted to use it as a handbag, or carry it on your arm. Melisa lined hers with a waterproof PUL.
Barbara is using hers as a sewing bag and now she can cart everything with her to class. She added some extra pockets, and mentioned to me about how pleased she is that it holds so much! I love that sewing themed fabric.
Christina's bag looks like it's ready to take a trip to a beachside hotel! I've been using mine as a toiletries bag for traveling lately. It will hold my hair straightener and my curling iron. It will also carry my brush and shampoo! It holds plenty!
Deana's bag is also showing off some Tula Pink. She's ready for work with this one. I love these colours. It's just gorgeous!
Jayne made this one for her daughter to take to work, and I hear it was very well received. I know a lot of us adults have a weak spot for our Mickey! It's super cute. She had some zippers with double pulls, and they worked beautifully. I hear Jayne's daughter now wants a handbag out of the pattern too!
I love Kimberlea's bag made out of this beautiful fabric with a Paris theme. I think I would definitely use this for a trip to Paris. It really worked out nicely.
Natalie always does amazing work with upholstery fabrics and vinyl on her industrial machine. She really enjoyed stitching up the bag and had fun with the piping. Natalie advises using a piping foot when working with vinyl.
Maxine really outdid herself here. She used fabric that you can colour, and laminated cotton on the inside. She even threw in a pack of crayons. The black/white with red is so striking together. I love it!
I love Terry's bag in purple. I know someone is going to love carrying her lunch in this one. Thank you, Terry!
I would love to see your finished bags too. Please make sure you share them in our Facebook Group: Emmaline Sewing Patterns Group, or hashtag them on Instagram #emmalinepatterns

ReplyDeletemaking a new tablet/ipad holder for ME as I'm returning to work this month & then a Luxor. ..A girl's gotta eat!:)
ReplyDeleteI bought and downloaded this pattern so that it could be my next sewing project (once I've finished my quilt!) :)
ReplyDeleteI'm planning my first retreat bag
ReplyDeleteI feel due to make another NCW, but I think I'll try a mini first! (I am quite excited about the Luxie release, though!)
ReplyDelete1229 NCWs ... well it might as well be. The pile of cut pieces looks high enough.
ReplyDeleteGoing to make me a Luxie of course! Off to purchase the pattern.....
ReplyDeleteI'm making a costume for my 15 year old granddaughters ballet competition.
ReplyDeleteI'm planning on starting one of your mix and match clutches this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI lost my sewjo :-( but this bag has got me really excited to start again. I haven't actually sewn anything for myself since learning to sew in September. This bag! This bag will be my next project and ALL for me
ReplyDeleteI'm in the middle of your Craftsy class and putting together a couple of the mix and match bags this weekend! Excited for the Luxie release too - but need to wait for my next hardware order to jump into that one. Thanks Janelle ~ for everything you do!
ReplyDeleteI'm making a quilt for myself next. Just finished making them for everyone else so I decided to take some time to do one for myself.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving this new bag pattern. I've made lots of bags though but never one with a frame, seriously think I need to push myself and have a go at this one. Currently making yet another NCW, such a great clutch to make and ideal for gifting.
ReplyDeleteHave been working through your class and nearly finished the lesson. Have learned a few things it's been so easy to follow and have enjoyed every minute of it. My next will be the Luxie Lunch Bag for when I go back to work in March. Thanks Janelle :)
ReplyDeleteI promised two friends that I would make simple tote bags for them, then I plan on making the Bag of the Month. Either the beautiful January, or the anticipated February. This one will be for me!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI am going to make a book cover for a friend
ReplyDeleteI'm making a large Aeroplane bag for an order then some more retreat bags in the large size since I just got my order of them. I like to slip in smaller bags between my big ones. I also want to make myself a Necessary Clutch!
ReplyDeleteI am sewing a new handbag....then I think I'm going to attempt sewing a matching wallet to go with it :)
ReplyDeleteI've been working on some crayon wallets for my twin girls, but my sister wants a toiletry bag for her birthday, so next up will hopefully be a Luxie!
ReplyDeleteSo excited for this pattern! I'm have two necessary clutch wallets that I need to make, and 3 dresses to finish. But we have a cyclone bearing down on us, so I'm getting out the needles and knitting a tea cosy - that way I won't be bummed if the electricity goes down (and I won't need to be as focused on measurements!)
ReplyDeletePretty sure the next thing I sew will be a retreat bag. I got several of the frames last month and have been trying to catch up so I can get one done!
ReplyDeleteMaking myself a ncw, pair of shorts for my ds and swimmers for my dd are all next on my sewing list
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of NCW 'S to finish, a Spring Sling and then I am making 4 Luxie bags. My daughter loved the pictures I showed her and she showed them to some of the girls she works with and they all want one too. Going to be busy but I can't wait to make this pattern. Another amazing pattern Janelle. Have to get busy and order some frame!
ReplyDeleteIm currently working on a matching set (slight OCD anyone?). Hand bag, little comestic bag to go in the hand bag, make up cases but now I'm wondering whether I have enough fabric left to do a matching lunch bag.. Heehee
ReplyDeleteI'm making a robot quilt for my grandson. I have a 4 day retreat in March and a bag is on my project list. This would be the perfect one!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity to win.
My condolences on the loss of your Dad.
My next sew is a spring NCW. I'm due for some selfish sewing.
ReplyDeleteI am working on a few charity quilt blocks, a pixelated quilt, and a few bags that are on my sewing list. Need to get back to sewing more often.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing a whole bunch of NCW as I'm attending a craft fair in a couple weeks... But the Luxie-Lunch Bag would be an incredible one to offer too! And I'm sure my sister would love to have one to take to her office everyday! :)
ReplyDeleteI need to sew a Swoon Dorian for my daughter by Monday for her laptop, then it's a Luxie for me!
ReplyDeleteNext on my work schedule is a trio of custom designed bridesmaid gowns. Hopefully I can find a little me-time to make a masculine version of this bag for my husband to corral his dirt bike tools and make them easily transportable.

ReplyDeleteWhat's next? Always the difficult question with way too many things on the list. Probably the Backgammon Bag. I've been totally reorganizing my sewing area and the furniture and machines have all been moved around and not set back up right just yet. So I've been going through sewing withdrawal for the last month. It's getting real close to a wonderful working space though.
ReplyDeleteI am sewing up a few things for a baby gift- receiving blankets, a pouch and a pillow cover.

ReplyDeleteI am going to sew the NCW hoping it turns out as good as everyone else.

ReplyDeleteMy next sewing project is a women's hoodie!
ReplyDeleteSewing a dress and leggings for my daughter.
ReplyDeleteJust finished my first wearable blouse (meaning I'm a beginner and my project worked!) and next up is a simple backpack with some Thai fabric, and then I'd love to sew this Lunch tote for my daughter!
ReplyDeleteThis bag is so adorable and versatile! The moment the testers came up with the teasers, I bought the hardware for the Luxy (along with some hardware I need to follow your clutch class I enrolled) and my order arrived today! Yay! Also today my cork order arrived and I wanted some to make a NCW what will probably be the next project I'm doing...I think...I'm not sure...so many gorgeous bags to make...
ReplyDeleteSo many projects so little time but I think my next project will be cosy sleeping bags for my grandkids, or maybe a knitting bag, or maybe a wallet or maybe all three!
ReplyDeleteI'm working on a travel bag for my MIL :-). I've ordered the frames & the fabric for 3 Luxies! One for my husband, one for my son, & one for me. Now I am just waiting on the postman to deliver. All the snow has everything delayed *sigh* so I have to keep being patient. But I sure have my pattern ready!
ReplyDeleteWorking on two bags right now !
ReplyDeleteI just had carpal tunnel surgery but when my month of recovery is up this is first on my list!
ReplyDeleteMy next project is a necessary clutch. My daughter has requested one, it will be number six! Love the pattern.
ReplyDeleteI'll be making some necessary clutch wallets to take to my sister-in-law and nieces who live on Long Island, New York when I go in May. And the two sided one with the id pocket (can't remember it's name) for me. I made several of those at Christmas, but now want my own.
ReplyDeleteI'm working on your craftsy class at this very moment. I have the leather exterior cut out, and all the cotton interior and sides...now for interfacing tonight. Then I have a messenger bag to make and of course, Bag of the Month next week!
ReplyDeleteI was hoping to make the new Blue Calla convertible backpack next, but am stuck on a few knitting projects I need to finish first. I love this lunch bag and even though I have no need to carry my lunch anywhere, I really want to make it!
ReplyDeleteWell, the Feb BOTM is coming soon, and my hardware kit from Emmaline just arrived, so that's on the list, but I can't help but wonder if I could squeeze in one more NCW for myself before it's released! I should be working on a quilt for my husband that I thought I was going to give him for Christmas :)
ReplyDeleteAt the moment I'm working on an Emmaline retreat bag which I am lining with laminated cotton. I plan to use it as a toiletry bag for my upcoming trip to Quebec City. Then I plan to make a large bag by Mrs H so I don't need to take my big suitcase. Sure looking forward to my trip.
ReplyDeleteI have plenty of projects ready to go, including a few from the On-The-Go-Bags book, but the next project will be a few Retreat Bags for an upcoming trip!
ReplyDeleteI am about to start my first NCW! I can't wait. Also, the testers did amazing work on the lunch bags! Gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteMy next sewing project is a book bag, because I have to submit a tutorial for it in 3 days. (fingers and eyes crossed.) Then right after that, I have a custom-designed messenger bag that is 5 months overdue and my mom is now threatening me with bodily harm if I don't get it in the mail immediately. Tough customer, my mother!
ReplyDeleteHi I am making retreat bags for my Granddaughters - one will be a western theme fabric for sure and the other is a funky kind of fabric. I am sure they will love them! Thank You!
ReplyDeleteJust had a baby so been making lots of burp cloths!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking I'm going to give the NCW another shot. Made one and had such a tough time getting it through my machine but now I have a rivet press so it's time to try it again!

ReplyDeleteI love the Luxie lunch bag Janelle! Working on orders and going through my other projects to prioritize first :) Almost done my Harriet bag and then ............Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteNeed to finish my backgammon bag and then want to do the wallet.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter's birthday is coming up soon, and she'll be asking for something handmade. This bag would be a good gift. Sure would be nice to make something for myself though.
ReplyDeleteI had planned to make knitting project bags for gifts for some friends. Now that I see the Luxie bag I need to get sewing so I can start one of these for me.
ReplyDeleteAfter hand surgery and 4 weeks of not being able to sew , I would love to win this prize and try my hand at Luxie. It will be good to get back to sewing.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to start a Quarter Note Clutch. Just bought the pattern.
ReplyDeleteI have about 4 quilts on the go (2 are small wall hangings) and a couple of bags cut out. But will probably make a lunch kit sooner than later as its perfect for when I meet with other ladies on Sundays to quilt and sew.
ReplyDeleteI received my wire frames a while back, and am in the middle of colour planning a retreat bag.....then I hope to get to the Luxie. I need an new lunch bag.

A computer bag for my mom!
ReplyDeleteI'm anxiously awaiting the release of the February bag in the Bag of the Month Club, and I also have fabric picked out for my second NCW.
ReplyDeleteI am making my 13th retreat bag. They make such wonderful gifts and it is a perfect pattern for the men, It is rare to find a sewing project for the men in your life. (we have to remember them once in while!)

DeleteI am still trying to get up the nerve to start my first NCW.
ReplyDeleteI have been looking forward to this pattern. But next on my list are a couple of tester bags.
ReplyDeleteLuxie, of course!

ReplyDeleteHad so much fun making my first Retreat Bag and have several more lined up to do. Have the perfect fabric chosen and ready to go. Really, really want to make the Luxie, so that's in the near future, too.
