The Blithe Bucket Bag is another fantastic pattern by the lovely (and talented) Ali Phillips of Arabesque Scissors, right here in Australia.
The Pattern is beautifully presented in an A5 Booklet with lots of great directions & accompanying diagrams. It is a sweet drawstring bag, that may look complicated... but is really easy to construct... with great instructions given.
It is perfect for holding your current working project, such as your Embroidery, crochet, knitting, epp, hexagon projects etc.
The FRONT OF THE BAG features an easy Cathedral Window design, with a lovely Needleturn Applique inside it ... OR... do as we have done, and skip the Needleturn Appliqué design part altogether... and feature your favourite fussy-cut fabric in the 'Cathedral Window' section instead. ✅️✅️
(I have made up 4 gorgeous fabric kit options... to specifically feature the gorgeous Tilda Hometown 'fussy-cut ladies' as we have done in our samples of these bags. *(Mine is the gorgeous Blue/mustard version - featuring the Tilda Hometown ladies in the fussy-cut "window"... which I absolutely LOVE!! 💙💙 Ali's is the gorgeous green one 💚💚... and I wonder who's going to be next to make the beautiful 💜💜PURPLE/GRAPE VERSION...? 🍇🍇🍇 Especially made for lovers of all things purple, I know it WILL be beautiful too!!! 🥳
THE BACK OF THE BAG has external pockets, a flap closure and two side pockets for holding all your extra bits & pieces in.
A VERY pretty & useful drawstring bag with lots of lovely extra features included in this lovely design.
As with all of her patterns, Ali also does some fantastic accompanying VIDEO'S showing tips & tricks to aid with different parts of the construction process. ✔️✔️ (The accompanying videos are listed on her Arabesque Scissors YouTube Channel).
This is a beautiful project bag to be able to gift, give-away or best of all... make it & enjoy using it yourself!
As with anything, I think a very large part of a projects success... is all about choosing the right FABRICS... that YOU love!!!...and choosing where to use each of the fabrics in the project.!!
I have LOTS of beautiful fabric packs that would make great options for showing off your beautiful fussy-cutting fabrics in this project.
The FABRIC PACKS I have chosen for the fussy-cut version...are as per the samples in the photos. (with an extra choice of using an ultra luxury Liberty Tana Lawn in the feature trim parts too). 👌
The fabric packs are available in the Tilda Hometown combinations of-
Blue/mustard. 💙💛💙
Red ❤️❤️❤️
Green 💚💚💚
Purple/Grape 💜💜💜 ...as seen in the photos.
Simply select if you'd like the
- Pattern Only
Or
- Pattern and TILDA HOMETOWN Fat Quarter Fabric Pack
Plus, in some cases... the option of
- Adding on OPTIONAL LIBERTY FAT QTR for the pretty Trims too. 😊🤗
*Please note,... by being supplied with the Tilda Hometown Fat Quarter Bundles,...there are actually 5 Fat Quarters in the full fabric packs... whereas, the pattern only requires the 4 fabrics...so, you can decide IF you'd like to add the extra fat Quarter into your project too - for a bit of extra added "pop" ... Either way, YOU will have more of these lovely fabrics to use. 👏
You can use my photos as a guide as to 'where' I've chosen to use each of the beautiful prints in this Tilda range... or play around, and see where you'd like each fabric to go on your own version of this beautiful bag.
Don't forget to tag us so we get to see your beautiful creations... and I am sure Ali would love to see them too. 🤗
