the Stella bag & Blend Fabric
Have you heard of Blend Fabrics? They’re the licensing division of Anna Griffin {I’ve known of Anna Griffin for years…thanks to my stationery hoarding loving!}. So, when we were contacted and asked if we’d like to design some bags with their fabrics, we jumped at the chance {you can learn more about Blend Fabrics at their blog too}!
When the fabrics arrived, we were so pleased with the lovely sheen of them, and the colors, though softer than we often use, are also beautiful.

| the Stella diaper bag {pattern coming soon} |
Here is our first design: the Stella diaper bag. This one is more traditional in size than our regular diaper bags, but we thought it would be a great addition to our pattern lineup {didn’t my mom do a fabulous job? When it arrived in the mail for me to photograph I was so impressed!!}. The fabric line used is Magic Garden by Sabine Reinhart for Blend fabrics {you can find Magic Garden here, here, and here}.
This bag is nice and roomy, and has lots of pockets on the outside {and a couple on the inside too!}, so it is easy to keep everything sorted.
We’ve put a tie on the side of the bag, so it can be expanded or cinched up, depending on your daily load, that way you don’t have to switch bags!
And here’s a better shot of it untied, as you can see, there is plenty of room!
We should be releasing the pattern soon, but were too excited to wait any longer to share. And we have another Blend Fabrics bag in the works too!
That is a very cute bag!
Beautiful design for the Stella, I love the ties on the side. I believe I have found a new fabric company to love (not that there was a shortage!!!). The collections Blend Fabric has are amazing. I can’t decide which group to buy first.
Congratulations! The bag is wonderful!
This bag looks absolutely fabulous!! I especially love how you’ve used the fabrics to just enhance the pattern!! Absolutely gorgeous!!!!
Very cute bag~ you say diaper bag, I think it would make a great quilting bag to take to shows~ imagine how many goodies from vendors could find their way home with such a roomy bag! 😉 LOL
Nice. Is that you holding the bag?
cute cute cute!!! can’t wait for the pattern!!!
love that bag
beautiful
The bag is really cute. I LOVE Anna Griffin scrapbooking supplies, too… That’s great that they sent you some of their fabric to sew with!! Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather 🙂
This is awesome!
