    $10.95

    Rating - INTERMEDIATE

    The CWD Mag Bag – Edition Three! This month brings you another awesome edition of the CWD bag making magazine which is once again jam packed with bag making content. If you love making bags, you are going to love having a dedicated magazine!

    You will find bag making hints and tips, Daryl’s sewing machine review on the Vintage Kenmore 158 Series. The “Share Your Space” section is once again full of inspiration for your sewing spaces, with one maker sharing her 5th wheel trailer conversion! It’s AWESOME!

    There is a designer interview with Natell and Gwen of Lockwood & Webb. It is an interesting glimpse into just how these two ladies on different sides of the globe became friends, and then went on to work together. Now that’s what I call the perfect synergy!

    You will also find additional bag maker interviews, a shop owner interview, and even a free printable “Hardware Inventory” sheet to help you keep track of your hardware. A Q & A Section, plus, so much more but if I reveal everything here, there won’t be a surprise…and we all love surprises!

    It’s brought to you in PDF format, so you have it and can read it in seconds. No waiting for the mail to arrive!

    But wait! There is MORE! Everyone LOVED the fact that the 1st & 2nd Edition came with a Bonus pattern! SO, as I have decided to retire my Gizmo Garage PDF Pattern to make way for new patterns, I am giving the retiring Gizmo Garage as a BONUS pattern with Edition #3. Remember that while the pattern has my old PDF document styling and formatting as well as hand drawn shaped pattern pieces, the final bag is still AWESOME and something to be proud of when finished! I really LOVE this laptop/tech bag and have been using mine for years. It has so many cool pockets and details and is a fun bag to make as well. There are also three sizes to choose from so you can find the perfect size for your laptop!

    FEATURES:
    The Gizmo Garage comes in three sizes, with plenty of storage pockets to keep you organised! This spacious laptop bag boasts a front flap closing with a hook and D ring, hiding a large exterior slip pocket (perfect for paperwork) that has a smaller slip pocket and pen pocket inside.

    There are also two big, pleated slip pockets, perfect for housing your laptop charger and cords. The main opening houses up to a 17” laptop in the larger version of the bag and up to a 15” laptop in the medium version and up to a 13” in the small version.

    Please refer to sizing guide included in the pattern to help you choose the correct size for your laptop! This main area is free from any other pockets to protect your laptop from scratches or external damage due to rubbing!

    Turn the bag around and you’ll see another padded pleated pocket with magnetic snap flap closure, perfect for your iPad. Comes complete with an adjustable shoulder strap (as well as a grab strap) so you can carry it multiple ways, or just grab and go.

    Finished bag size =
    Approx. size of SMALL version: W 21.5cm X H 35.5cm X D 5cm. (W 8 1/2″ X H 14″ X D 2″)
    Approx. size of MEDIUM version: W 24cm x H 40.5cm x D 5cm. (W 9 ½” X H 16” X D 2″)
    Approx. size of LARGE version: W 26cm X H 43cm X D 5cm. (W 10 1/4″ X H 17″ X D 2″)

    Just like Edition #1 & #2, this whole package is AWESOME value and a steal at the same price as The Gizmo Garage was being sold on its own. Why not grab a copy of this fun e-zine today and sit back with a nice hot cuppa and enjoy!

  • The Strapfield Convertible PDF Pattern

    $10.95

    Rating - INTERMEDIATE***FREE VIDEO INCLUDED!***

    The Strapfield is a super versatile design which converts from over the shoulder to backpack in one easy swoop. It’s also super easy to convert from backpack or shoulder bag to a cross body bag too! Sporting loads of pocket options, you can choose from one main Front Slip Pocket or divide it into two, and even add a front Cargo Pocket! Or if you don’t want that many pockets, simply add some stylish trims instead. The front also has a Zipper Pocket. At the back of the bag there is a newly designed Quick Access Phone Pocket. You can also add some Trims to the back if you wish.

    The spacious interior closes with a recessed zipper. Inside there is an additional Zipper Pocket. If you are like me and LOVE pockets, you can add Pocket Supplement A for even more pockets! Your purchase of The Strapfield includes TWO sizes. The Small is fantastic for everyday use and the Large is great if you need to carry lots of extras for your kids or when travelling or are just someone who likes to schlep around their kitchen sink!

    Both sizes will fit water bottles (depending on size and shape of the water bottle you choose) in the Front Slip Pocket, however for larger or taller water bottles I recommend not dividing the front pocket into two.

    Links to video tutorials are included with the pattern purchase.

    Finished size:
    SMALL: Approx. 28cm (11”) W X 26.7cm (10 ½”) H X 9cm (3 ½”) D.
