Hyacinth Bag – February Bag of the Month

Picture

The Hyacinth Bag, bySew Sweetness, is the February bag from the Bag of the Month Club. I’m trying to catch up. The club has one more month, and I have 4 more bags to go, yikes, I better step it up!

The Hyacinth has a front flap covering card slots and a zipped cash pocket. The flap is closed with a magnetic snap, and the pattern offers an option for an invisible snap, or the regular magnetic snap option. The pattern also has an adjustable strap so the bag can be worn over the shoulder or cross-body.

The bag is slim, but roomy, with a large divided interior pocket and a zippered exterior back pocket.

I chose Melody Miller’s Mustang line from Cotton + Steel. The arrows and horses were from Fabric Spark, and the matching border print was a lucky find in my local quilt shop. I was also happy I had all the coordinating gold-finish hardware and zipper pull to match the metallic in the prints.

The Hyacinth Bag is now available from theSew Sweetness shop.
