DRAWSTRING BAG IN RUBY STAR RISING

Ruby Star Rising Drawstring Bag

I can make a thousand bags and still need more. I first designed this Drawstring Bag pattern for my camera bag and I still use it every single day. I thought it was time for a new one and wanted to make it boldly coloured. This Melody Miller ‘Ruby Star Rising’ Transistor Radio print that I had in my stash was perfect. It was only after I had made it that I realized that I had been totally inspired by Katherine’s camera bag made with the same Transistor Radio print in the softer colours! I found the perfect cotton ribbon at Mokuba for the drawstring and I just used little bits of the Transistor Radio print to make the hexagon tabs.

I love the bold colour palette of this print so much, I’ve decided to use it as a starting point for my Scrappy String Quilt colours. I’ve started making the blocks and I’m really excited to see how this turns out!

  1. this is a great design. any chance of you selling the pattern at some point? I’d love to be able to make it!

  2. I used this fabric to make my second tie, for my doctor: who did a wonderful job on my eyes. However, it was too much.. for him. He did not like it. He wore it the day when I gave it to him, but shyly he said he didn’t after that
    I was a little sad.
    It’s such an amazing print, with the transistor radio, the colours are wonderful.
    I almost wanted to ask for it back, because I would wear it myself.
    Hopeing he will save it for his little 2yr old boy or little girl, maybe she will wear it when she is a cool teenager.
    It’s great to see this version in a bag, looks amazing.
