Heartland Blog Tour


Hi There!
Today is my stop on the Heartland Blog Tour.  
Heartland is the newest fabric collection from designer Pat Bravo for Art Gallery Fabric.


After browsing the collection I had to make something with the Owl print!  Hus Hoot Gul  is offered in canvas and knit fabric so a garment and purse were in order.
I have been wanting to make a granny style purse for ages and this print was perfect.



The fabric is the star of the show with this style of hand bag.


A trip to my local leather store, and I had the perfect leather for the handle.
If you haven't worked with leather before, check out my tutorial [HERE] for tips on how to sew leather on your home sewing machine.


Art Gallery knit fabric is lovely and incredibly soft. 
 I decided to make a tee that is perfect to wear now under a cardigan,
 and in the Spring and Summer by itself.  
The Mabel Flutter Sleeve Tee is a pattern I am currently working on.  
Expect to see it later this year just in time to make for Spring  : )


I hope you enjoyed seeing my makes.  Thanks to Pat Bravo and Amy Friend for inviting me to participate.  It was so much fun working with Pat's beautiful fabric!

I look forward to seeing what you make with Heartland too!  If you make something, please tag it with  #PatBravoDesigns, #HeartlandFabrics, and #ArtGalleryFabrics.

Be sure to also tag @PatBravo so she can see what you make!

  3. Debbie is right, you did a great job showing the variety of substrates that AGF makes! I love the style of both the bag and the shirt. That shirt pattern will be popular! Thank you for participating!

  7. These are beautiful fabric designs. Love your use of fabric substrates making a nice change from quilting cottons. Your granny purse and flutter- sleeve tee are so elegant!
