Launching the Autumn Street Pattern Shop!

August 27, 2012 by Abby 6 Comments

Big Library Bag

The pattern for the big tote bag is here!! 

Just last week I put up a post showing you my new library bag. I’ve had such an overwhelming response to it that I’ve been working non stop for the last week to get the pattern ready. The pattern has been tested and proof read and I’m so glad it’s finished and ready for you to enjoy.

I have dreamt of selling patterns for quite some time now, so I’m very excited to finally be able to launch the new Autumn Street Pattern Shop! It’s also exciting to be using the Autumn Street name. Take a look along the top of the blog and you’ll now notice a page for the Shop.

So, here’s the lowdown on the pattern:
– The Big Tote bag can be reversible, or add an internal slip pocket perfect for your library card or some loose change. The wide straps make carrying the bag on your shoulder comfortable, even with a heavy load.
– The pattern includes 20 full colour photos and 8 pages of detailed instructions. Full size pattern pieces with seam allowances included.
– The pattern is easy enough for a beginner. Skills required are sewing curves and top-stitching
– Finished dimensions: 40 cm (w) x 26 cm (h) x 15 cm (d) approx. (16” x 10¼” x 6”) – measured along base.

Great value for only $5.00 AU (Which is about equal to $5.00 US right now).

And don’t worry, I haven’t sold out, there will still be free tutorials on the blog just like normal. All the old patterns will still be free and always will be.
If you make a Big Tote Bag, please add your photo to the Flickr pool.

    Congrats on the new shop! If you also want to make a bit more money, how about buying up the Prints Charming line and selling it to those of us in the U.S. who don’t have access to Spotlight. Please I beg you, they are my favorite fabric designers and I really need to get my hands on their new line.

      Hey Julie, have you seen Prints Charming now have an online store 🙂

      Not a great range thus far, but maybe you can stalk them.

Quick and satisfying project today making a brush Quick and satisfying project today making a brush roll for my art supplies. Vintage canvas from the stash (which I think is from a bougie Italian designer). Matching bag to come. Then I can grab and go for my next en plein air session.
I love how gardening teaches you to appreciate eac I love how gardening teaches you to appreciate each season and observe the cyclical nature of growth and of life. Through tending a garden we learn to embrace imperfection and patience. That the reason for everything is the journey not the destination.
My dress for this years @sew_melbourne Garden Part My dress for this years @sew_melbourne Garden Party was the Lucca Dress from @schultzapparel. I adore the 18th Century vibe! After toiling my measured size, I ended up going down 2 sizes and after a few minor tweaks I make to most patterns (shorten and move forward the shoulder and realign the side seams) it was good to go. I was planning to finish the front with eyelets but ended up hand sewing in hook and eye tape. I love the clean look! When trying it on I wanted a little more oomph in the hips so I added some tulle hip pads to the sides. I added in seam pockets too because...pockets! The fabric is from deep stash and originally purchased at the Philips Shirt Factory sale in the city maybe 10 years ago?! It was a dream to sew with! I used about 5m because it was only 90cm wide. I'm loving the result and hopefully the weather plays nice and I get another chance to wear it before it turns cold. The dipped waist makes it really comfortable to wear with room for a big lunch! #schlucca #sewmelbourne #sewmelbournegp #imakemyownclothes
My grandma always grew borage and would put it in My grandma always grew borage and would put it in salads. I didn't know anyone else who made salad with flowers in it (it was the 80s) and I thought she was a magical witch. I'm so excited to finally grow it in my own garden! When buying veggie seeds I found borage on @theseedcollection so couldn't help myself. Witches unite! ✨🌱
Today Ted and I built a step to make getting up to Today Ted and I built a step to make getting up to front garden a bit easier. Used scraps of timber from the old retaining wall. He wasn't a fan of the circular saw but loved doing the drilling and screwing. Worked out just as I hoped! I don't have a builders square, but turns out a quilting ruler makes an excellent substitute.
