What We’re Making! Mail Sack by Pink Chalk Studio

I’ve been feeling the love for Lotta Jansdotter’s Glimma collection since it came out. The Glimma Canvas in Kulla Slate and Tove Slate called out to be a Mail Sack by Pink Chalk Studio. The exterior is canvas with a quilting cotton interior. Even though I used the canvas I attached interfacing to the interior pieces for stability. I’ve found I prefer a bag with a bit of structure.

I added a cell phone pocket to the interior big pockets before stitching them down. The other side of the interior has the zippered pocket included in the pattern. Kathy’s instructions make zippers so easy to install.

Love the added yoke detail. A super easy addition. Cut a 2″ x 17″ scrap from an accent fabric. Fold in half wrong sides together and press. The resulting 1 inch strip is added into the seam, raw edges together, when the yoke is attached to the base.

I’m ready for market! My Note Taker from a previous blog post will be so happy to have company.

Happy Sewing!
