\"Closed<\/a>About three weeks ago, I posted that I’d been fortunate enough to purchase an adorable Bernina 475 Kaffe<\/a> edition sewing machine so that I can take it to various sewing sessions more easily than my amazing — but heavy<\/strong> — Bernina 790Plus. I decided that it only made sense to have a sort of “go bag” pair ready with things I’d need for these sessions so that I wouldn’t forget something essential.<\/p>\n

Since the machine is a Kaffe edition, I decided to use a Kaffe fabric that echoes — in a smaller scale — the print on the rolling bag for the machine. The purple binding is also a Kaffe fabric, but the teal\/purple striped lining is from Tula Pink.<\/p>\n

Naturally, the bags I made were from By Annie<\/a>, whose bags are so thoughtfully designed. I started with the Stash and Dash<\/a> bag, which is perfect for my seam ripper, package of needles, pencil, a small ruler, etc. The three zippered mesh pockets let me organize these things and find them easily.<\/p>\n

\"Open<\/a>Then I decided to make one of the Clam Up<\/a> bags, which are available in five sizes. I made the Large size, which is about 4 7\/8″ high by 6.5″ wide and 4 5\/8″ deep and opens with double zipper pulls. This bag will be good for cones of thread and larger scissors, etc.<\/p>\n

On both bags, I used rainbow zippers I happened to have on hand from Pam Damour<\/a>, though they’re a bit bigger than the ones recommended in the patterns. Still, I think they coordinate nicely with the Kaffe fabric.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
