Call for Pattern Testers!! ~ The Diane Tote ~

I’m in the middle of a few big projects right now, but I promised earlier I’d let you all know when The Diane Tote was ready for testing.  So here I am!

If you read my Diane Tote Post last week, I introduced you to my first soon-to-be released first E-pattern. At a comfy 16″ x 3″ x 4″ she is sure to fit your everyday items and more.  And now, 4 nice prototypes later I need a few of *YOU* to give the pattern a test drive.  Are you interested?

This is a confident beginner pattern I would say.  You must be comfortable with sewing zippers, as the main closure is a curved zipper install.  Besides that, it is fairly straightforward.  The Diane looks great with quilting cottons as well as lighter weight home decor too.

Basic supplies you will need:

1  yd          Exterior Fabric            

1/2  yd      Exterior Accent Fabric    

1/2  yd      Exterior Accent Fabric 

1 1/2  yd    Interior Fabric

2 yds         Fusible Woven Interfacing ( I use Pellon SF101 for my woven interfacing.)

21”x 58”   By Annie’s Soft & Stable  

17” x 5”    Heavy Stabilizer for bag bottom  

1 – 14”      #3     Nylon closed-end zipper in your chosen color

1 – 24”    #4.5 or 5   Closed-End Zipper for exterior closure

If you don’t hear from me about testing in the next day or two, don’t worry.  I’m setting up a MailChimp account and will e-mail you with more specific information about the testing and the tote.

I hope to hear from you!
