What's NEW

Brighten your home or workspace with Cubicle Collective, a cheerful collection of a dozen projects designed to showcase your favorite fabrics while keeping everyday essentials neatly contained.

The pattern includes instructions for two styles of bag (rectangle and square), each in three sizes. Each bag features a side-to-side zipper that allows the bag to open fully into a tray. Snap the sides of the bag together and enjoy a clear view of the contents. It’s so easy to find exactly what you need!

These versatile bags are perfect for organizing sewing notions, craft tools, cosmetics, travel items, and more. But Cubicle Collective offers even more creative value.

During construction of the bags, quilted fabric is trimmed away — and those pieces can be transformed into coordinating snap cases. These cases are quick and easy to make and you can create several useful sizes. Perfect for cords, small tools, cosmetics, and other essentials, the snap cases turn leftover quilted fabric into practical accessories you’ll use again and again.

Make a colorful coordinating set or mix favorite prints to create a collection that adds personality to any space. Cubicle Collective combines playful design, practical storage, and clever use of fabric for a project you’ll enjoy making and using.

Note from Annie:

Special thanks to Kaitlyn, Cheryl, and Diane for making the cute baskets shown. It was fun to see the various color and fabric combinations that each of these ladies selected. We “oohed” and “aahed” over each set. We hope they’ll inspire you, too!

Don’t you love the fun snowman set of baskets that Diane made? We think that these baskets would be perfect for storing Christmas cards, ornaments, candy, and more. A label made with a piece of chalkboard fabric would be perfect on the side of the small basket which makes the top of the hat. Diane found the snowflake embellishments at a local craft store. She used brown pipe cleaners for the arms and buttons for the eyes and nose.

A functional and easy to make bag with four styles that feature both zippered mesh and zippered vinyl pockets in a variety of sizes. Use them to organize, store, and carry all sorts of treasures. Perfect for organizing personal items and clothing in a suitcase or to carry supplies to class. You’ll think of so many ways to use these handy bags!

Pocket Packers measure 18½”H x 13½”W and each style features a full-sized zippered mesh pocket on the back. On the front are zippered vinyl pockets in a variety of sizes depending on the style that you choose to make.

• Style 1 has 1 pocket
• Style 2 has 2 same-sized pockets
• Style 3 has 3 pockets of varying sizes
• Style 4 has 4 pockets in a variety of sizes.

Any of the pockets can be divided into more than one section. A reinforced handle attached to the top of each bag can be customized for carrying by hand or over the shoulder. Designed to be made with small amounts of fabric, Pocket Packers are perfect for using the newest fabrics from your favorite designer or a collection of pieces from your stash.

ByAnnie’s Soft and Stable, the original sew-in foam stabilizer, is used to stabilize the fabrics, ensuring that the bags will be sturdy and hold their shape and making construction and assembly extra-easy.

Protect and carry your precious Singer 221/222 Featherweight (or other small sewing machine) in this sturdy, padded bag!

Made with Soft and Stable for excellent structure and cushioned protection, Stitcher’s Suitcase is designed specifically for Featherweight machines but also fits other small machines such as the Singer 301, Janome Jem, and more.

The wide zippered opening allows easy access to your machine and supplies. Multiple interior and exterior pockets keep cords, foot pedal, bobbins, tools, and even vintage manuals organized and within reach.

An acrylic stabilizer slides into a fabric sleeve in the base to provide a firm foundation and added stability. Adjustable handles with a cushioned wrap allow you to carry the bag comfortably by hand or over the shoulder.

Stitcher’s Suitcase also makes a great travel or retreat bag! That wide opening makes such a difference for packing and access.
