bragging rights

While I am being a Mrs big head, I have to share with you – my pattern for the one-hour bag was a 2012 favourite on the Allfreesewing site.

I made the one-hour bag tutorial just after disembarking from the ark, and it is one of those patterns that people just keep trying. There are a few of them in my Flickr pool, but I know that many many more have been made. You know if you make anything from my blog or patterns or whatever, I’d love you to add photos to the pool.

This make me realise how long it has been since I have done a tutorial. hmmmmm

I have also noticed that my free download patterns over on the sidebar have stopped working – Why I have no idea. I tried to fix them yesterday and I managed to send one to Bookface . Do they work for you?

keep them? delete them? put them on a new page?  errgh, I am going back to the sewing machine.

  2. Congratulations, Jodie, and if anyone deserves to be a Mrs Bighead, it's you (but actually I know that your head is the regulation size!) I LOVE my one hour bag; it's a souvenir of 2010 Sew-It-Together and the great lunchtime dash to Tessuti.

  8. Love your tutorials and I have made the bag, although I will say it took me more than an hour, but to be fair to me, I was new to this sewing game. I reckon if I did it again, I could make it quicker and better! Still the recipient thought it was beautiful.
    As for going back to the sewing machine it sounds like a plan.

  9. is that an hour with 60minutes in it, or one of those hours that ends up being 3 weeks cos one can't quite get off one's backside to finish things?

    Mrs Bighead - you have so much to brag about!

  13. I love the One Hour Bag. My sister wants one of your Café Bags in the same fabrics I made for myself, so naturally I said NO! Instead she is getting the One Hour Bag in the same fabric as mine (just to be a bit different). Your downloads still work for me.
    Thanks for the site info - love free patterns.
    I will try to upload my Café bag and the One Hour Bag (when finished) into your Flickr Pool, but I am technically inept so might have to ask hubby (gasping at admitting I am not perfect), for help.
    Also, thanks for the print fabric; I'm sure that the hat will look just a good. Your are very generous Jodie, so you are allowed to brag!
    Cheers :)
