The Fabric Makes the Bag: the Lucy hobo

lucyhobo4Lately it seems like blogging is a Catch-22: if I sew I don’t have time to blog, and if I blog, I don’t have time to sew (or anything to blog about!). But, I’m stopping in today to show you what a couple others have been sewing lately. First up, this amazing version of the Lucy hobo by Nicole of Modern Handcraft. I love how she modified the patchwork portion from the original granny square configuration! You can see all her lovely photos here!

Lucy-Hobo-2And, here’s another Lucy hobo that’s headed to Quilt Market with Blend Fabrics. I recently met a friend who moved to our area, and then discovered she sewed! So, she made up this pretty bag for us, while I’m working on a few other projects {that you’ll see soon, but you can catch some sneak peeks on Instagram!}.

Lucy-Hobo-1The fabric is Sweet Siesta by Shell Rummel and is very soft and inviting. It is always amazing to see how different a bag looks from one fabric to the next. That must be why we all love fabric so much, because it isn’t just pretty, it’s a form of self expression.

I hope you’re enjoying your weekend. It’s rainy here, so I’m trapped indoors trying to sew while keeping the little ones entertained. I will say though, I’ve been loving the fall colors everywhere {even if it means summer really is over}. Hope your day is wonderful too!

  1. I know where you are coming from with the catch 22 on bloging and sewing. Love Nicole’s version of the Lucy hobo and I agree that the version sewn up with blend fabrics looks really soft and inviting. I would find both hard to put down.
