Candice: Giveaway, Interfacing and Big Nerdy Delight

Lazies, The arrival of our new pattern Candice is getting closer! She’ll be here soon. It is a big nerdy thrill for me when a new pattern walks in the door and we meet for the very first time. When Mr. UPS man brings that first box in the door, I open it with delicate curious respectful excitement.

Candice shown in ‘Pick a Bunch’ by Nancy Mims for from Kaufman.

I gently open the box top, look in, and gaze upon the stacks and stacks of Girls looking up at me. Taking the first new pattern out of the box is like making the first footprint in a perfect bed of snow or smooth sandy beach.

I love this new Candice, with the useful inside pockets. I recognize your “girls” on the arms of well dressed women, everywhere, now.

Thanks for offering this.

Lisa Garrett says...

I love Candice! Red is one of my favorite colors.

Helen says...

Hi Joan!
I love the new Candice. Now, this may sound strange, but I like her layout because it keeps a nice “clean” exterior. The diagonal pattern seems to enhance rather than break up the exterior fabric pattern.
BTW, I’m a weaver of fine exotic fabrics for garments, plus. This is why I’m so happy with your latest design. It is as if you made it for me!
The pockets inside will really make her functional, too! I look forward to welcoming her into my life! Thanks!

Cory says...

I would love to win Candace so I can make her. Thank you for the chance. Take care and God bless, Cory

Jeanne Reynen says...

Joan,
I’ve always enjoyed your patterns and am really looking forward to this one! I like the D rings on Candice.

Really like this pattern! It caught my eye for traveling; with the special pockets so I can safely carry my iPad with me when I travel. I am just getting back into sewing, this will be my first big project after the several small items I’ve already tried for practice.


I can’t wait for Candice! I think she will make a fantastic work bag for myself.

Cindi C says...

Candace is beautiful! I can’t wait to make her.

Thanks much,

Jennie

LInda says...

Can’t wait to start making my own Candice bags. Loved Margo but apparently I carry way too much stuff so a slightly bigger bag will be wonderful. The zipper instructions were great.

LauraLou says...

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BAG! I’ve made several lazy bags and my friends now tease me by asking which bag I am carrying today. I would love to carry this one and have the fabric idea already cookin’ in my head.

Iris says...

If the Candance is anywhere near as great as the Margo, I’ll be a happy camper.

I have the perfect fabric for this bag… a big print… but I bet it would look great in two different colors of solid linen too.

Mariëlle says...

Love the pockets, so handy that are a lot of pockets. And the sturdy bottom is something that is a must have for bags in my opinion. So I leke that a lot and de D-rings make it look so profesional.

I love Candace! I have Miranda and she is great. I was a first-time purse maker and found the instructions really easy to follow, thank you. You hooked me with Miranda.

Barbara says...

would like to make Candice to hold my IA pad.

Gayla says...

I can’t wait to make up a Candace! I am currently making my first Claire, and continue to be amazed at the ingenuity that goes into the creation of the pattern! Joan, your patterns are clearly written, easy to follow and constructed so as to make it as easy as possible for the maker. I’m a fan.

Love the new bag! I like the hardware too, it add a bit to it. I like when I walk into a quilt shop with one of your bags and the girls that work there say I love your “Claire” bag (or whatever pattern it may be). That’s my test. If the just refer to it as a “bag”, I know they are not the lazy place to shop!

I love the new Candice pattern! I have about a zillion fabrics I could use for her!!! That doesn’t mean I won’t be buying more though, because when I go out of town, the first thing I look for is fabric stores that we don’t have here. All we have is JoAnn’s. Sure hope I win it! Thanks.

Cyn says...

Yes, Candice and I could be great BFFs! I’ve been looking for a bag to tote all my “necessaries” since I’ve been job hunting…resumes, references, networking cards,electronic gadgets, phone, pens and pencils, etc. Candice would be perfect! Of course, she might have to be made in several fabrics to go with my business clothes as well as jeans! I’d love to have her come to my home.
