Quilty Penelope Bag PDF Pattern

Hello sewing friends. I just listed a pattern for sale in my Etsy shop! It's the Quilty Penelope Bag. Recognize it? The silhouette of this bag is one that I've been making to sell for years. I put a little quilt love on the side panels and shared it in the Patchwork Posse online Quilt Guild. Now I'm excited because I get to bring it home and offer it to all of you. You can find it in my Etsy shop. But first let me tell you a little bit more about it...

The handbag has a variable star block built into the side panels, giving it a pop of color and a cute way to show off your love of quilting. The star panel is great for using up some of your scraps or for playing around with your new favorite fabrics. You can also substitute an 8”, or larger, orphan block to the center panel for a completely different look.



 The Quilty Penelope Bag is perfect for carrying all your essentials, plus a few extras. It’s small enough that it won’t weigh down your shoulder, but roomy enough to hold what you need. 

There are pockets on the inside and a simple magnetic snap closure. The comfortable fabric strap stays on your shoulder and easily slips on with one hand. 

If you make one I'd love to see it! Show it off on Instagram at #QuiltyPenelopebag and tag me @bluesusanmakes.


Happy Sewing!
