Bumbleroot Design

I just learned about Sew Small September, an Instagram challenge with some fun prize bundles! It was created as a way to support and spread the word about small sewing-related businesses and makers.

Follow and on IG for the full details, including how to participate for the giveaways.

I didn’t know about this in time to participate as a pattern maker, so I'm sharing the info as a fellow sewist. Please support the designers and small businesses that donated to the prize packages!

Additionally, all my patterns are 20% in my main shop and on Etsy for the month of September (no coupon needed).

🌈 These are the last few days where I will be donating 50% of my Bumbleroot Design pattern sales to The Trevor Project! With the threat looming about USA federal funding being cut for LGBTQ+ hotlines, services provided by The Trevor project are more important than ever!

Leelana has two roomy zippered compartments plus a pocket that forms between them large enough for a phone. It features a belt-style adjustable crossbody strap, and my signature Cocoon Method for tidy, no-tab zippers.

The colorblocking isn't part of the pattern, but I explained how I did it in the included video tutorial. (Just seam and topstitch, THEN cut out the pattern piece.) I include lots of tips & tricks in my patterns and videos.

Looking for a small but elegant addition to your bags? The Bumbleroot Key Strap pattern is designed for cutting machines and comes with an SVG file. I’ve also included directions and a printable template for hand-punching the holes for braiding. Follow along with the video tutorial, where I also show how to set the SVG file up for a Cricut machine.

I personally LOVE the elegant key fob hardware set from zipperzoo.be, formerly Serial Bagmakers. But any key fob set should work! The key strap pairs nicely with my LumaZip as a boxed set. I even have a box project out there in the public Cricut space that you can search for.

If you’re making this out of leather, you might need to skive the ends to make sure if fits into the hardware. It’s SO worth it!

My Bellaclip Backpack pattern has a crucial safety feature: a disappearing zipper! Make one for yourself and travel in style, or add this unique design to your bagmaking lineup.
