The Blithe Bucket Bag Pattern & Grape/Purple TILDA Hometown Fabric Packs

The Blithe Bucket Bag is another fantastic pattern by the lovely Ali of Arabesque Scissors.

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, with a lovely Needleturn Applique design 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 lovely Tilda Hometown 'fussy-cut ladies' as we have done in our samples of these bags. *(Mine is the lovely Blue/mustard version - featuring the Tilda Hometown ladies in the fussy-cut "window"... which I LOVE!! 💙💙

And Ali's is the gorgeous green one 💚💚...(again featuring the beautiful Fussy-cut ladies)...

I wonder who's going to be next to make the lovely 💜PURPLE/GRAPE VERSION...?  or the Rusty Red version ❤️ - they would both be so beautiful too! 🥳

In addition to the gorgeous front, 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 the design.

As with all of her patterns, Ali also does some accompanying VIDEO'S showing tips to aid with different parts of the construction process. ✔️  (The videos are so helpful,  and are listed on her Arabesque Scissors YouTube Channel). 

Will you make this beautiful bag to gift, to give-away or best of all... Make it & enjoy using it yourself! 

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 luxurious Liberty Tana Lawn in the feature trim parts too). 👌

The 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 option of

• 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. 😊

• I also have a limited number of the Magnetic Handbag Snaps (in lovely Antique Brass) for using on the back flap - as per the bags requirements. These provide a lovely, professional magnetic closure for the large flap. ✔️✔️ (Inexpensive, easy to use, packet of 2)...I highly recommend using these lovely closures.

*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 plenty of these lovely fabrics to use. 👏

You can use my photos (and samples) 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 in 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. 🤗
