Fun, functional and versatile… These drawstring bags have it all!

You know what you can never have too many of? Bags! Especially ones created with care and using a beautiful, durable fabric like Mochi Linen from the BREEZE collection. Good bags come in handy for so many things – shoes (which is so nice when you’re traveling!), laundry when you’re on the road, things in the kitchen like fruits and veggies that you want to store in a cool, dry, place; knitting or crocheting projects; or just for fun things you want to keep together!

And, a fabric like Mochi Linen is simply delightful for a project like this. With the soothing, chic appeal of cool, crisp colors on a neutral sand background and a thicker, stiffer texture, this fabric is perfect for so many different kinds of projects – like this apron, this fanny pack and these pencil pouches. The possibilities are endless!

These bags were sewn by Yvonne Aumannm, you can find her on Instagram a @phiundlu!

Yvonne made these bags in three different sizes, using three different Mochi Linen prints. The upper edge, including the string, is made from a contrasting SPOTTED fabric. This pattern and tutorial are so easy and simple, even for a beginner!

FREE QUILT ALONG BLOCKHEADS 2020
BLOCK #2
NAME: SUNSHINE STAR

A couple of weeks ago I announced the exciting news that Blockheads is here again – with round three this time! BlockHeads 2 was such a great time and it was so fun to see everyones’s quilts evolve in the Facebook community and on Instagram (be sure to use the hashtags #modablockheads and #modablockheads3 so we can see your blocks!). So, we’re doing it again this year – a fun, free, year-long sew along!

I shared a little bit about my layout a couple of weeks ago when we announced the kickoff of Blockheads 3 – if you’re following along be sure to check out that post to find out what fabrics you’ll need.

This week’s block, Sunshine Star, comes to us from Sherri McConnell of A Quilting Life. Block 2 is easy and quick to sew – you only need 12 half-square triangle units. Be sure to visit Sherri’s blog for more tips and this week’s block pattern!
