Indygo Junction’s Pattern Parade Blog Tour

Lazies, You’re in for a treat, as today I am hosting a stop on Amy Barickman’s Indygo Junction PATTERN PARADE Summer Blog Tour. Amy has filled the tour with some great bloggers, all of whom are reviewing some of the latest Indygo Junction patterns. Amy sweetened the pot with giveaways, prizes and a coupon. Visit each blog and gather clues to the secret word for another chance to win.

For today’s tour stop, I will be sharing one of Indygo Junction’s great new bag patterns, Country Courier Bag, item #IJ925. Look at the curves and fabulous sweet funkiness of this cute bag.

Whether you’re a city gal or a small town gal, the Country Courier Bag is a perfect purse for any girl on the go. It has a smooth, stylized shape with a front that gives the illusion of a double flap. The top flap opens with a magnetic snap to reveal a front pocket and large interior. Line the inside with a fun coordinate and pile in your must-haves to the convenient inside pocket. This is a great pattern for using fun vintage buttons to accent the front and sides. It comes with options for a pleated or plain front flap, and pointed or tucked straps. Great for home decor fabric or wools.

seamstress…because it’s a ‘brag bag!’ Truly Fantabulous!!! ~Fran

Love, love the bag pattern and the choice of fabrics, too. It makes a classy bag!

Rina says...

This would be perfect to use on my leaf peepers trip to New England this fall. Love the asymmetrical flap design.

Linda W says...

Really unique pattern. The denim is fabulous and I love the fact that the sample fabrics include wool. Love, love using wool!


Love this bag. the blue wool would go good for everyday and with jeans. it would be great in other colors to wear to work. the comments you would get at work, like Where did you buy that and you would be beaming when you say “I made it myself”.

Ivy says...

I really like the curves and the large buttons to conceal a pocket. Great new product. Will look forward to seeing in shops.

Pamela Gonzalez says...

What a great bag!! I would love to make several of these just for myself…not to mention what a great gift idea!!

Corinne says...

I really like this bag, and especially the one you’ve made in the blue wool. I’d love to make one for myself, and a couple of others to share.

Linda says...

Thanks for the pattern tip. This is a great bag that our Project Linus volunteers will love to hear about.

SewLindaAnn says...

I’m in! Thanks for the chance.

Meredith K says...

This bag is super neat! I love using the wool to make it, that makes it seem very sturdy. I wonder if I would have to wash it by hand?

Cy Swendsen says...

This is a bag that even my picky daughter would love! The fabric colors you will “gift” are really to my liking. Thanks for the chance to win.

Natalia says...

Loved it! and would love the fab fabric as well!

Cindy L. says...

This bag is really nice-looking! I saw the blue one and thought it looked like denim, but see (after reading captions) that it is actually blue wool. Would it work with denim? (allergic to wool, so not an option for me) I would love to win and get to try it in denim. (jeans girl) Happy Summer to all!

Sue Sharp says...

Love this design too! I like to make and have all different designs of purses and totes!

Sherry says...

I love the unique shape of this pattern and the way each looks so different depending on the materials used.

Kay in NJ says...

This design is very clever and I especially like the “a bit longer than wide” geometry which is good for some of us with less than perfect proportions. Very nice, indeed.

Denise says...

I love this bag, especially done up in wool. Very hip and unique!

Hazel S says...

So cute and stylish! Very versatile with all the material combinations. Can really personalise it.

This bag is so cute and funky. Great pockets and cubbies. I love the fabrics that comes with it. I’m a sucker for brown wool and I am loving that beautiful citrusy green.

Sandra Hedrick says...

Wow, what a cool bag! Different from anything I’ve seen before. Really unique! I want it!!!!! I have samples of menswear fabrics that my daughter got when she worked for a menswear company. I think those would be great for this bag. I’ll be waiting …………….

Cute bag. I love the fabric. My bag a friend made me is wearing out and I need a new one!

Adri H says...

I love this bag. I think the styling and design make it a travel-worthy tote! I love the flap and outer pocket too… I think it would be the perfect airport bag (for me) since it could carry my tickets, kindle, headphones, etc. without being too bulky.

Katie says...

The plaid pocket is great. There are tons of great Scandi-style fabrics out there that would look amazing on this bag.

nancy in IN says...

Such a neat looking purse. Great job.

Sheila Newcomb says...

Love the bag. I picked up some wool fabric at a “Yard Sale” and this bag would be perfect!

Love the design! I thought it was two flaps – but love that one is a ‘hidden’ outside pocket. I appreciate seeing this versatile pattern made with different types of fabrics as well as different colors. I’d love this one – love vintage! Hope I’ll be lucky enough to win this prize. Thanks for the fun!

Rita aka crescendogal says...
