We are smitten with the newest release from our friends at Sew Liberated. The Missive Bag is a sweet little bag to carry a few essentials where ever you wander. While the bag is perfect for remnants, we've created a featuring the Bookhu Gather Flowers collection.

Please note that the sewing pattern must be purchased separately from Sew Liberated.
A few tips for working with heavier fabrics are to use Sewing Clips instead of pins (much easier to maneuver on the thicker layers) and a Jean-a-ma-jig for help evening out your presser foot while sewing.
We also have found using Sewing Clips and a Jean-a-Ma-Jig to be extremely helpful when working with the heavier weight fabrics you often encounter with bag making!
