Front View Louisa Bag

I had the distinct pleasure of being a part of Clover & Violet’s Louisa Bag IG Tour.

As with the majority of C & V’s patterns, they are all “quilty” in style. I wanted to stay true to their design but add my own modern touch 😉 I thought flying geese would be perfect…especially in bright Kona cotton solids! To make sure the colors would pop, I paired the solids with my trusty friend, Andover Black Chambray for a clean, chic look.

 The inside fabric was simple low-volume Telegrammes Ciel from the collection, Cherie, designed by Frances Newcombe for Art Gallery Fabrics.

Side view

I stayed pretty true to the pattern. The only adjustments made were the placement of the Geese blocks so they would be a bit more scattered and even. The side ties were omitted and extra was used Kona on the side pockets for some more color. The panels were straight-line quilted with Aurifil 2605 gray to blend through the chambray and solids.

You can see other versions of this bag here and on Instagram with #louisabag and @cloverandviolet.

Hugs and Stitches,
