Floating Triangles Bag

I'm a bit late with this announcement, but you can find my pattern for this Floating Triangles bag in the Winter 2015 issue of Modern Patchwork.  (You should still be able to find the issue on newsstands.  But if not, you can purchase a copy from the Interweave store.)

I really enjoyed designing this bright and colorful cross-body bag.  The angled front pocket is essentially a tiny quilt -- and a fun study in half square triangles.  The bag measures about 10-inches wide by 13-inches tall, and the strap is adjustable up to 53-inches long.

Modern Patchwork is one of my favorite quilty/sewing magazines, and, as usual, there are some great quilts and smaller projects in this particular issue.  I'm thrilled to be sharing the pages with some of my maker/designer idols, including Rashida Coleman-Hale (Her Modern Hexies quilt is gorgeous!) and Malka Dubrawsky (Don't you think her Mod Ovals Quilt makes a beautiful cover photo?).

Speaking of cover photos (and publications), I'm super excited that my Above the Curve table runner made it on the cover of the Spring issue of Stitch!!  What an honor... and a surprise!  I haven't received my physical copy yet.  When I do, I'll be sure to post more about that design, and the inspiration behind it.

And, if you sew your own version of the Floating Triangles bag, or any of my patterns, I would LOVE to see it!  Tag me on Instagram (@formwork), post a comment here, or email me to let me know.  Thanks so much!
