Olive Rose Swing Bag
May 7th, 2008
Olive Rose is the latest line from Freespirit designer Valori Wells. Using nature as her inspiration, she abstracts the line and color to create vibrant designs with electric hues. These fabrics inspire you to get creative!
We have been on a handbag kick here at Spool and one of our favorite patterns is the Swing Bag fom Amy Butler. The shape is so darn cute and it’s simple to stitch together. Michael sewed this one up in an afternoon! It’s also reversible which gives you the chance to use more than one of your favorite fabrics. Purses are the perfect vehicle for bold pattern and color that you may not normally choose for your wardrobe. The pink hibiscus fabric from the Olive Rose collection instantly stood out to me and the matching stripe is such a fun contrast. Just looking at this combination puts me in a cheerful mood!

I definitely want to sign up for the A-Line Skirt class (please let me know when there’s an opening), and It’s A Cinch Sundress – YIPPEEEE – dresses and skirts to match my handbags – I’m in heaven. I’m so excited about Spool! I’m loving sewing!!!!!! (And Mike is a great teacher.)

I’m so happy you’re so excited about sewing! We’ll keep you updated on new classes. A handbag class is a good idea!
