Botanical Radiants Radiate with Be Mandy Things Patterns

Hello, fellow sewing enthusiasts! Today, I am thrilled to share with you my latest creative journey as a Benartex Fabrics ambassador, featuring their stunning Botanical Radiants collection. This collection truly captivated me with its vibrant floral motifs and rich color palette, making it the perfect canvas for my latest creations. Check out this quick video that shows off the Joanna Tote!

Introducing the Joanna Tote Bag

The centerpiece of my ambassador project is the Joanna Tote Bag, a design that blends functionality with timeless elegance. Crafted using my brand new Joanna Tote Bag pattern, this tote showcases the exquisite prints and hues from the Botanical Radiants collection. I designed the Joanna tote to work specifically with fat quarter bundles.  It offers 3 strap size options, and instructions on making your own or using premade straps.  The interior features 3 slip pockets using my perfected pocket installation with pocket binding.  The spacious interior and practical design make it ideal for everyday use, whether you’re heading to a quilt guild meeting or strolling through a botanical garden.

Elevating the Sunset Zipper Pouch

In addition to the Joanna Tote Bag, I also delved into creating a stylish companion piece: a zipper pouch using my Sunset Zipper Pouch pattern. For this project, I enhanced the pattern by incorporating interfacing for added structure, increasing its overall size, and boxing the corners to create a more polished finish. This pouch not only complements the Joanna Tote Bag but also serves as a versatile accessory for organizing essentials with flair.
