Roses are red, Violets are blue, here are some sewing ideas, just for you!

Make Love a Pattern!
Valentine's Day is a great day for focusing on the people we love, so we compiled a short list of our favorite patterns for gifting! And with warmer weather not too far ahead of us, it's a great time to making plans to travel or to prep for spring cleaning. So follow along for a little boost of creativity and inspiration!

All Bottled Up
Pretty and practical, All Bottled Up is perfect for gifting, small storage, or quick making! We like the idea of storing sweet-smelling essential oils or stylish nail polish, but in reality, they could be used for just about anything small that we wouldn't want rolling around in drawers!
Renaissance Ribbons Bags
Renaissance Ribbon Bags are as handy as they are luxurious. The ribbons themselves are exquisite woven jacquard with beautiful velvet borders and the pattern promises no unfinished seams or bindings! We know you will love these bags; fill them up with sweet chocolates and surprise a friend with the perfect gift... or decide to keep them for yourself, we won't tell!


I'll Drink to That
With springtime weather just around the corner we plan on plenty of strolls in the park or laughter-filled picnics with the ones we love! Our I'll Drink to That pattern is crafted with the thought of easy transportation and drink storage in mind-- carry it by the handle or use the shoulder strap as you walk to your destination. Know that your drinks and glasses will be safe and secure, held gently (yet firmly) with ByAnnie's Soft and Stable four-part divider insert.
Double Zip Gear Bag
Our Double Zip Gear Bag pattern puts the 'fun' in 'functional!' This bag is great for keeping any variety of travel essentials, such as an electronics or toiletries. The finished bag fits well into any travel bag or suitcase and the double-zip functionality allows for ease of access.


Simple Strips Placemats
Easy to make? Reversible? Washable? Yes, please! Complete your occasion with our Simple Strips Placemats, a pattern that uses a modified quilt-as-you-go method and fold-over self binding. ByAnnie's Soft and Stable is a great choice for these placemats, giving them just the right amount of soft sturdiness while still remaining easy to wash and easy to quilt.
Have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
We hope these patterns bring a little love to your Valentine's Day and a little anticipation for the end of colder weather. What ByAnnie patterns do you love to sew for friends and family to show them you care?
