My Pattern Design Process: Part 3
My new techniques might seem intimidating at first, but they’ll feel familiar as you go from one of my patterns to another. They’re all related!

I strive to come up with something 100% new with each of my patterns. Either a completely new look, or a technique that I haven’t seen done before.
There are SO many bags and patterns out there, and many of them look alike. I thought I’d start a series of posts describing my thought process when designing a new pattern.
I’ve wanted to create a large bag that doesn’t need hardware or zippers, but offers an interesting look. My very first prototype was a winner!
Briamar V2 is here! I’ve had many requests to enlarge the front Briamar pocket to fit a phone. The proportion of the front pocket has been updated to be taller and deeper.
I’ve added instructions for two alternative pocket options for the inner bag: a zipper overlay pocket, and a self-closing slip pocket.
The exposed seams in the front and back of the bag meant that standard flat strap connectors were not going to work. After weeks of trial & error, I finally got it right. What do you think?
After using my Twoby Phone Bag to carry the basics over the past few months, I knew I wanted to reshape it as a full wallet. Clary is designed with flexibility in mind. Clarita is a mini version!
After more than two years, my Bellaclip Backpack pattern is finally ready to share with the world. It includes so many new techniques and unique features!
Featuring two separate compartments: one for your phone, and one for keys, hand sanitizer, etc. Plus a snug pocket for a few cards and cash. All in an ultra slim package!
