Welcome, Hippie Bag Makers! July's Hippie Makers Club pattern is here — introducing the Frida Bag sewing pattern, one of our all-time favorite bag-making designs. This structured tote pattern is crafted specifically to showcase SewHungryHippie pre-quilted vinyl and custom cork fabric, two of our most popular bag-making materials.
Why We Love the Frida Bag Pattern
The Frida Bag is the perfect beginner-friendly bag pattern for sewists who want a polished, professional result without the fuss. Here's what makes it special:
- Pre-quilted vinyl — no quilting required; the fabric does the work for you
- Cork fabric — a premium, sustainable bag-making material with beautiful natural texture
- Bonded nylon lining — easy-to-clean interior that eliminates the need for interfacing, making this a true no-interfacing bag pattern
- Plenty of structure and body using SewHungryHippie materials alone — no additional stabilizers needed
Frida Bag Materials & Supplies
This vinyl bag pattern and cork bag pattern combo is designed to work beautifully with our curated bag-making supplies. Your custom boogie handles are on their way — the manufacturer ran a little behind schedule, but the leather bag strap works perfectly in the meantime. You can easily swap in the custom handles once they arrive.
