Nice job on the zipper pocket!

I've just spotted some wonderful Emmaline Bags in some Etsy shops.  What a thrill to find these gorgeous bags out there for sale.  I love the fabric choices and I'm pretty proud that these wonderful seamstresses have chosen my Emmaline pattern to sell in their shops.

Here is Melinda's version, made up in some gorgeous Amy Butler fabric and contrasting jean bag straps.  Melinda, lives over in Perth, Western Australia.  You can find her shop, Millie Mollie Mandies Bag Emporium, and more bag photos HERE

Susie at Susie's Creations by Richie416, had made up two really beautiful Emmaline bags in fabrics that just make me want to fly directly to France (a dream of mine) with her bags in tow.  Susie is from Islip, New York, and her Etsy shop is HERE.


And another of Susie's Emmaline Bags:


Wow... I think I'll try to find some more!  Oh please share your bags with me!  Some day in the near future, I might actually get around to putting that "Share Page" together.  In the mean time, please share your bags in my Flickr group.  The link is in the upper right corner of this blog.  You see that little box with the blue and red dots?  Click there!

Thank you for looking!!

I  LOVE  seeing the handbags that you creative sewers are stitching up with my ePatterns.  I've had a few wonderful emails from happy sewists this week showing me some of their Emmaline Bags.  I'm going to have to leave the house through the garage today because my head is so big it won't fit through the front door.  And... I have a really large front door.   Maaike from Maaike's Blog has shared her pretty version of the Emmaline Bag on her blog.  I think it says some really nice things, but if anyone will pop over and translate - I'd appreciate it!  Here is her version, isn't it pretty and "summery"!

I'm thinking I should create a page here on my blog where I can post some pics of your bags. What do you think?  If any of you would like to share your pics of bags created by Emmaline Bags & Sewing Patterns ePatterns or Tutorials, please email them to me at: MY EMAIL
Remember, you can always share you bag in my Flickr group too!

I can't wait to share Ruby's bag too, but I'm going to wait patiently because she wants to feature it on her blog Zaaberry in a few weeks and I don't want to spoil it!

Thank you for looking, keep on sharing... Please!

The Invitation:  I felt very honored when Justine from Sew Country Chick asked me to do a pattern giveaway.  There was no hesitation, because I would do anything to be associated with the likes of Justine's blog!  I would even iron all day for the opportunity.  NO, I would do Justine's ironing for a year. No wait, maybe just one month.  Did I mention that I hate ironing?  (Quite a fallback for a sewer, trust me.)

I digress.... Justine, fabulous woman, is giving away one of my handbag patterns.  Whichever you desire!

About Justine:   The woman behind Sew Country Chick is a designer, seamstress, mother of five, and fabulous blogger, that lives just outside of Los Angeles, California. Here are some of Justine's latest sewing projects, but trust me there seems to be no end to her projects on the blog.  She also has categories such as recipes, home sewing, furniture refashions, sewing history, crafty projects, raising chickens... and more.

The Giveaway:  Please hop over to her blog and see her brilliant work, and while there you could enter the giveaway, and link up your sewing projects at her link party: Sew & Tell Saturday.  There are some adorable features about "Little Girls" this week. Go see!
