The Glacier Pattern Bundle - All of the Tester Photos!

First, The Glacier Crossbody Bag, is a triple zipper “compartment” bag that features an additional vertical zip pocket in the front, as well as a credit card pocket & lipstick pocket in one of the outer compartments. It has a long adjustable strap that extends to 61” (155 cm) long.
The size of the Glacier Crossbody Bag is:
Width at base - 12 1/2” (32 cm) Height - 12 1/2” (32 cm) Overall Depth - 6” (15 cm)
The fabric on the
cover of the pattern is a Stonehenge Ombre by Northcott, which was generously
provided by www.purplekatzquilting.com.
I thought it would be fun to pull out some of those outer pocket features and provide some smaller bags out of this substantial pattern. From the main pattern came the next pattern in the bundle, "Glacier Base Bags - 2 Versions".
The Glacier Base Bags pattern is an "intermediate" level version of the more advanced Glacier Crossbody Bag. The mini is made from the outer pockets of the Glacier Crossbody, and the large is made using the main compartment. Both have a long strap that extends to 61” (155 cm) long, and a padded compartment. The large size, which is the quicker make of the two, features an outer slip pocket with a flap closure that snaps shut, and the mini features a vertical zipper pocket.
The finished measurements for these bags are:
Mini: Width at base - 10” (25.4 cm) Height - 10” (24.5 cm) Depth - 2 1/2” (6.35 cm)
Large: Width at base - 12 1/2” (32 cm) Height - 12 1/2” (32 cm) Depth - 2 1/2” (6.35 cm)
These 2 patterns will be offered in a bundle, so you can make all 3 versions!

Tracy Loyek from Purple Katz Quilting (who also sponsored my featured fabric) stitched up a very striking Glacier Crossbody bag in this cool galaxy print!

We can count on Mel Euhus of Love M.E. Patterns to always make something fun. She made both the Glacier Crossbody, AND the Mini Glacier Base Bag - shown on right.
Now I really need to give a shout out to another lady, who also made 2 styles! This first bag by Barbara Hourigan, aka The Bag Lady, made this first Glacier Crossbody Bag in the red row by row fabric - stunning! After that, she made the LARGE size Glacier Base Bag, adding Piping and pockets. Thanks B!
Line Vienneau, a BC bag seller (Fine Line Designs), pulled this super cuter MINI Glacier Base Bag of her bag of tricks. I love how she did the zipper in two colours & added the back pocket.
Cyndi from Nosy Pepper Patterns, is at it again!! She made a LARGE size Glacier Base Bag, adding a back slip pocket. This is soooo adorable. Thanks for all of your help, Cyndi!
Thank you so much to all of my friends that have tested this bag pattern for me. It's thrilling to see the finished results. This was a lot of fun for me, and I am really happy with the way these bags turned out. I could not have done it without you!!

What a lovely review of all these Bags, Janelle. thanks for putting this blog together. What I love is how each bag seems to take on its' own character based on the fabric that is used. It just adds to the excitement of bag-making for me.
