Today I have something extra special to share with you! I’ll let Karen explain………
——————————————————————–
When I wrote “The Art of Bag Making” for Christine I showed how I like to do an outline drawing of the bag pattern. ย Just like the ones you get on commercial printed patterns, it helps me see the bag without the distraction of fabric.
Christine thought you all might find that useful, so I am drawing outlines for her entire pattern range, which she will release over the next few months as they come available. ย I hope you find them useful, and excuse any smudges!
——————————————————–
WOOP! So here are the first 6 drawings! Simply right click and save to your computer to print out whenever the urge to get creative hits you! I suggest you save them with your patterns! ๐ PLUS below each single drawing, you will find a link to download a PDF colouring sheet with lots of little versions of the sketch so you can print out and have fun with planning different colour schemes and fabric placement! Let your imagination run wild! ๐

How AWESOME are these?! Thank you so much Karen! I look forward to sharing more of your drawings as you work through them! ๐ย You can read more of Karen’s posts over at Sew What’s Newย HEREย and visit Karen on Instagramย – @auntystitches
Great idea. I will use these in the future.
Brilliant idea and free too yay!!
Thank you So much! I have some leather that was waiting for some of these designs!
Great idea!
Love this! Thank you Karen and Christine!!! I do love to play around creatively with the bags I make, but I usually rough sketch mine, if I sketch out at all. These might get me to get more detailed. Brilliant!
AWESOME! ๐
Yep….Karen is a GEM to do this for us! ๐
AWESOME Peg! I hope you will share some pics when you have made them! ๐
It is! ….and FUN too! ๐
AWESOME Daryl…..I wish I had them on hand for the ones I am designing LOL would make my life easier! LOL
This is great news. I follow the blog and read about everyone elseโs wonderful bags โฆ but I am very much a novice bag maker. Iโve made a couple of simple bags and theyโve got quite well, but I realise that there are a lot of tricks and tips to producing a really good bag. Having photos and text for some tricky steps certainly helps, but video is going to be great! Iโve really found videos useful for other sewing projects (like clothes).
Awesome that youโve made something this comprehensive, AND made it free. Iโll be off to buy the pattern next and start looking through my fabric stash to look for possibilities ๐
nice post
