It's the Go Anywhere Bag because, well, it's that simple, I think you can go anywhere with it and look unique, stylish, and pretty darn cool. This is the largest bag pattern I've made so far, not huge, but definitely roomy enough for whatever comes your way.

[divided front pocket with optional piping detail]
The best part? All the pockets.

- a slip pocket on the inside.
In this pattern you'll find:
- Step by step instructions with full color photos for making one Go Anywhere Bag
- full size print-at-home pattern pieces

ReplyDeleteWow that is so gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteFab! Fab! Fab! And you ladies look so great!
ReplyDeleteThis pattern is so gorgeous! I've been looking at bag patterns for weeks now and never found a pattern I really liked. That is..until I found yours! I love it! Love the pockets, the two handles, the size, and the shape! I need the big pocket because I often have a water bottle, and the 3 pockets would be really helpful to hold keys and a mini notepad w/pen!
ReplyDeleteI am sooo gonna buy this pattern later on! Thanks so much, it's like..my cries for a bag pattern came true, lol! I love that you used home decor weight or canvas weight! I'm looking into some Heather Ross FFA linen blends :)
I'm gonna spy on the flickr page until I get my hands on this pattern, lol. Love the picture with you and your cousins, such pretties!
Thanks again! <3
Those fabrics go great with your bag design!
ReplyDeletelove the outside pockets. no diggin.'
ReplyDeleteAnna, I love this bag so much! You're a wellspring of good ideas and patterns :) I know where I'll be coming to get my next pattern when I'm ready to make another bag!
ReplyDeleteI love the bag and your cousins did some great modeling for you. I am going to have to buy the pattern to make one. The fabric was perfect for it.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try this pattern, Anna. It's a gorgeous bag. I especially like the fabric combination in the very first photo with the yellow trim... beautiful. Now to decide on fabric...
ReplyDeleteokay Anna I'm sold! I want this bag. but I'm not sure I can pull it off. how hard is it really? I've never made a bag before and I'm terrified but this pattern is calling my name--should I make it myself (I specialize in straight stitch and that's about it) ...should I pay someone else to make it? or should I just turn on my heels and run away from the scary pattern?
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeletehere is my interpretation of your lovely pattern: Go anywhere bag matryoshka style. I really enjoyed sewing it and i love the bag - finally enoigh space!
I have a question : what is the fabric you used for the front pocket of the first photo ? The grey fabric ? I'd like to find something similar to make my bag ! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI love this bag and I think it would be perfect for a certain need that I have - but I was wondering if you could give me the end dimensions of the bag? I have to fit a certain notebook into a cute bag (that i have yet to make) and I want to see if this pattern would work.
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern. I made my bag this weekend, the directions were easy to follow. I love it, I can't wait to make more for friends.
ReplyDeleteI made it, and blogged about it here. http://midnightmaker.blogspot.com/2012/03/my-first-purse.html
ReplyDeleteJust bought this pattern - cant wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your bags - I'm saving up to buy all the patterns!
