I have something so exciting to share with you today: a brand new pattern release AND a very special gift from one of my beautiful stitchy friends!!

I wanted to kick 2022 with something sweet and special. With time flying by it seems, Easter is just around the corner. Easter is one of my favourite times of the year, we often go camping and enjoy spending relaxing times with good friends. An Easter tradition for us is putting out Easter baskets and awaiting a visit from the Easter Bunny (no matter your age!) Instead of Easter baskets I wanted to create a bag that would be the perfect Easter egg hunting bag….The Astra Mini Bag was born!

I wanted to add a stitchery design to the front of my Easter version of The Astra Mini Bag and my beautiful friend Amy from Amy Kallissa jumped on board and created this adorable stitchery design called “April Fields.” Amy has very kindly gifted this design to you and you can read all about how to create it via Amy’s website here. I am sure you will agree, this is just the sweetest! Thanks so much Amy!

The Astra Mini Bag is amazing for Easter but also well beyond that. Here are a few different designs to inspire you with this fun new pattern!

How about a Halloween version for trick or treating? I made this version using Tula Pink’s De La Luna fabric.

I am loving these two craft bag versions, they are the perfect size to carry a mini project around or even make one for your stitchy friends this Christmas and fill with your favourite notions!

How about instead of wrapping a baby shower gift, you make an Astra Mini Bag and fill it with bits and bobs for bub! Too cute!!
