Inspiration from our Pattern Testers
Are you ready to make your own Snappy Sleeves? Check out the lovely work from our pattern testers, and be sure to thank them for their hard work!
TESTER: Randi @randisroost
FABRIC: Main fabric is upcycled jeans; lining is by Alison Glass for Andover.
TIPS: “Make at least one case before trying to make one with directional or fussy-cut fabric, so you understand how the construction works.”
TESTER: Jennifer @taughtbymomquilts
FABRIC: Batik from stash
TIPS: “Non-directional fabric was easier and I did free motion wavy lines of quilting which I thought was pretty effective on this bag.”
TESTER: Kelly @kstevens_16
FABRIC: Chipper and True Colors by Tula Pink for FreeSpirit Fabrics; banana fabric from stash
TIPS: “I did lay a ruler down after I folded up the pocket part. Even with the sew line, I wanted to ensure it was folded up straight.”
Nyree’s lovely Snappy Sleeves were made with beautiful Tilda fabric while she waited for her Tool-Free Snaps to make their way to Australia!
Randi made these Snappy Sleeves with Untamed by Tula Pink (left) and faux leather and Tim Holtz fabric from her stash (below).
