Ellie has made this beautiful scalloped maximalist tote bag using the new Liberty Fabrics and Bridgerton collection.
“I’ve been wanting to make the Maximalist Tote Bag pattern by Mia ever since we launched our Sew-Along Festival, but I couldn’t decide on the perfect fabrics. Bow Bouquet C from the new Liberty Fabrics x Bridgerton collection instantly caught my eye. I have to admit, I’ve never actually watched Bridgerton, but I couldn’t resist those bows! I wanted to use the same collection for the lining and the scallops. For the scallops, Amelie Luise A added the perfect pop of pink and Garden Blooms C for the lining fabric beautifully complements the purple in the bows.
Mia’s tutorial was incredibly easy to follow. I have tried scallops in the past but failed, so I was slightly dreading them but Mia made them an absolute breeze! I’m no longer intimidated by scallops and will be adding them to absolutely everything. I also adore the bow strap—it makes the bag adjustable, so I can wear it as a tote or a crossbody. Plus, it looks fabulous with the bow fabric—bows on bows!”
The pattern is available as part of our Sew-Along Project Bundle
