Lazies, I’m excited to tell you about a fabulous bag design today. Penny Sturges of Quilts Illustrated ^[1] pattern company has created a wonderful bag called ‘Pocket Parade’ – I think the name says it all. This is the tenth of twelve daily features in the ‘Day Z Dozen’ blog hop ^[2].

Here’s Penny:
I have twin granddaughters and the Pocket Parade tote bag, #ps015 is my favorite bag.

^[4]It is perfect for my daily bag needs, plenty of pockets for glasses, cell phone, keys, calendar, pens and lipstick….plus two bottles and four diapers!

It has a comfortable handle that fits over your shoulder and it is sized to fit in the basket of a stroller. Pocket Parade is not just a diaper bag, the outside pockets are great for a water bottle and sunglasses.

The Pocket Parade bag looks great in all the bold and beautiful LakeHouse fabrics.

About Penny:
In my never ending search for the perfect handbag I began sewing my own bags. Lots of bags! Some with long handles, short handles, big pockets, small pockets, inside pockets, outside pockets. Are you beginning to get the picture? I bought patterns galore, and couldn’t find a pattern that was easy to follow.

Here’s all the product information for today’s feature ’Pocket Parade’. Check quilt shops to purchase the pattern and fabrics.
