The Felicity Bag: More Versions

Felicity-Bag-Fluffy-Sheep-Quilting-2Last week when I shared the Felicity bag, I was still waiting on a photo from a tester, so I didn’t share their versions. But here they are! This first bag is made by Cindy of Fluffy Sheep Quilting, isn’t it cute?

Felicity-Bag-Fluffy-Sheep-Quilting-1She used Vintage Happy by Lori Holt for the prints and Essex Linen for the body. The bright fabrics stand out so great against the solid background.

If you’re thinking about making a Felicity bag, I think you’ll be happy with the result. And, if you make one, we’d love to see it! You can add the photos to our Flickr group or share on Instagram and tag #cloverandviolet and #felicitybag. Can’t wait to see them!

  1. Being mildly obsessed with hexagons I absolutely love this bag. The frame I find somewhat intimidating but I am certain your directions would beautifully get me through the process. Definitely on my to buy list!

  2. Melissa~ the frame is really easy! Try it! I just love these bags. I realized I got a bit carried away sewing around the hexagons~ I did all sides! :-/ Next time will go even faster. LOL Thank you Jennie for trusting me with your pattern!

  3. So the frame purse is attached all the way inside. It looked a bit like it was possibly just temporarily attached so you could pull it out. Fun look!
