This bag. This fabric. It’s simply beautiful.
Don’t you love it when you find something really special? We do. And we did. We stumbled across this bucket bag recently on Instagram from fabric designer, Sharon Holland. Sharon designs for Art Gallery Fabrics, and she also makes really pretty things. Take a look and learn about her latest fabric collection, Signature, and grab her free bucket bag pattern.
Take a closer look at the bag … it’s so nice and roomy. One big compartment and wide opening makes it easy to stash items of all shapes and sizes. Its cord closure is easy to cinch tight, and then sling over your shoulder.
Love on Sharon’s latest collection – Signature fabric – and check out the new Signature lookbook … it is sure to inspire. You’ll find page after page of lush photography featuring garments, accessories, home projects and gifts. There are fabric and pattern links within the lookbook to help you begin the planning process.
Grab the bucket bag pattern … visit Sharon Holland’s free pattern page and download her bucket bag pattern – or any of her other sewing and quilting projects. Get additional information about the specific construction of the bag in her blog post.
Choose your finishes … Sharon created the functioning closure for her bucket bag using Dritz extra large eyelets and cable cord.
Add a tassel … Dritz tassel caps hardware is perfect for making a DIY tassel and giving this bucket bag a pro finish.
(Note: the fabric Sharon used for this second bucket bag – shown in images directly above and below – is Tallinn fabrics, by Jessica Swift; also from Art Gallery Fabrics.)
