My new bag – Finally

One week ago I visited the „Needle world“ fair in Karlsruhe/Germany for 2 days.

There is not to many such creatives fairs in South Germany. That’s why it is not a problem for me to drive 3 hours there. I met Kasia there who arrived from Basel. We spent 2 wonderful days. We were not only talking but also discovering, rummaging and buying.

Apart from many other things i found the booth of Löwenstein-Design. Their quilts, bags and tapes are so fantastic and I could not withstand to buy a lot meters of tapes, empty wooden bobbins and a bag pattern.

The very kind owner already warned me that the pattern is not for beginners and takes some time. OK, I am not a beginner, and I will take the time.

Last week we had the Champions League match, I am only interested in the result. Then there was the holiday with another time. And the weekend was perfect for finalizing the project.

And now it is ready, my new bag.

There are many inner pockets and hideouts.

Outside 2 pockets, both with zipper.

Of course soil nails.

Most of the fabric I found in Karlsruhe.

The bag has the right size, not as big as a baby bag, but still big enough

I think never before I spent so much time for a single bag. But it was worth it.

The instructions are clear, many images and explanations made it easy at the end.

Desiree Koelner of Loewenstein-Design deserves it to be named here.

Not about all patterns that I catched on the Needle world a can report good news. On one booth I got the pattern for a simple (I thought) basket made from fabric. It looks the author as weel was thinking that it does not require detailed explanations. And took 8 Euro. This is very cheeky because only my fantasy and experience saved this basket project.

Thank you, Desiree for my new bag „San Remo“.

Enjoy your week.
