tutorials!
Exciting news! The Sewing Republic has begun to post our tutorials, and the first one up is my Summer Serendipity Bag!
I do hope you'll enjoy it! And if you've popped in from The Sewing Republic site--welcome! The bag is a super-simple project and will lend itself to all sorts of variations. Unfortunately, one key piece was left out of the project instructions--the template for the bag's handle. I've emailed the folks at Bernina to let them know about the omission, but meanwhile you can download the pattern piece here.
I'm thrilled how the site has turned out. Really, it has surpassed everything I ever expected, and I'm in awe of how the patterns, directions and photos are being presented! I'm equally excited about the new projects that will be posted every week by my fellow contributors: Stacy of Stacy Sews, Juliette of Chickpea Sewing Studio, and Nicole of Appliance Clothing. They are such talented ladies; there's more goodness to come!
Your bag looks great - it has been added to my ever increasing to do list (fortunately I have a weeks holiday from work coming up at the end of the month!)

I love this bag, and can't wait to use it. Sew Mama Sew has lots of fun new fabrics! You did a great job with the tutorial.

I love this pattern!! I made one today from a vintage sheet that I bought at the thrift store. I cant even believe how easy it was to make. Thnaks for sharing!

Is it me or when I downloaded the pattern, I could never find the actual pattern sheet. Am I a doofus or is it hiding someplace?

OOPS! Now I see it. I was at the Bernina site.
SORRY...and THANKS! I am dying to sew this.
Yes, I am a doofus.

I'm sorry, but I still can't find the pattern sheets. I see the instructional PDF and that is all. Sigh. I'm dying to make this bag. It's awesome. Please post the URLs. Help! Thanks.
