Celestial Curve Bag(s) by ChrisW Designs

Celestial Curve Bag pdf (with video instruction too) is now available and it's ON SALE!  Designed by ChrisW Designs, who is a fabulous designer and has the best instructions! I tested these 2 bags for her. I love the shape and size of this bag! The bag features a zipper closure, a stand up handle thanks to the boning used in the handle, a full gusset both outside and inside, and a slip and a zipper pocket inside.

The exterior fabric requires 1/2 yard of fabric. I happened to have 2 fat quarters of the floral print (2nd bag shown) and could easily cut the exterior pattern pieces from those fat quarters. The first bag shown is from a large corduroy scrap that was also the right size. The lining take a bit more fabric due to the zipper and slip pockets that are inside the bag. Such a great looking bag in cotton fabric, vinyl or leather as you can see on the other tester's bags (links at the end).

This bag went together quickly and there is no hardware needed, just a couple of notions like a #3 zipper for the pocket and #5 zipper for the closure, plus interfacing, and stabilizers.

The Celestial Curve Bag measures 11" wide x 5 1/2" high x 3 1/2" deep.

This corduroy bag is for sale in my PayHip Shop.

This Celestial Curve Bag was the first one I made with the 2 fat quarters for the exterior. I love the bright happy floral print and colors of this bag! This one is for me!!!

Cross My Body Bag

Christine Welsh of ChrisW Designs has done it again with the Cross My Body Bag! The bag measures approx. 22cm (8 ¾”) W X 22cm (8 ¾”) H X 10cm (4”) D. Features a quilted bag (optional, but makes a sturdy bag), an ingenious recessed zipper closure with no gaps, a hidden front zipper pocket, Christine's signature back phone pocket and an interior zipper pocket. Need a slip pocket? You can add one inside if you want to. I did. I made my bag in scrappy pink & purple batik fabrics with a vinyl accent. You can use all cotton fabric, or use whatever material that you and your machine like. Grab it now while it is on sale. No code needed!

Here is the bag I made~

I used batik scraps of pinks & purples to create this bag. The vinyl accent hides the zipper pocket in front.

the back of the bag sports a phone pocket, which is Christine's signature pocket.

The bottom, front, back and sides of this bag I quilted in a serpentine stitch.

This recessed zipper has an ingenious way of putting it together and there are no gaps at the sides as most recessed zipper closures have.

Back phone pocket.

Inside zipper pocket.

Front hidden zipper pocket is behind the vinyl trim.

Vinyl strap connectors at the sides.

I added a slip pocket with a pen division. A slip pocket is not included in the pattern as it is optional.

The pattern is on sale for a limited time, so if you want to make your own Cross My Body Bag, hop over to ChrisW Designs and get the pdf while it's on sale. Plus there is a video tutorial too! NO code is needed. And please scroll through all the photos to see the other tester bags too.
