To round off our Luskentyre Bag celebration month, we're bringing this bag back into our Sewing Society offering with a special supplies kit.
If you already own a copy of the Luskentyre Bag PDF pattern then these kits are the perfect answer to a satisfying make - everything you need in one box! Don't yet own a copy of the Luskentyre pattern? No problem, simply add this to your order using the link below.
Designed by Lauren, exclusively for us here at g&g, this roomy bag can comfortably hold all your essentials for a day at the beach, pool or for a picnic in the park! The Luskentyre Bag has a large interior which is fully lined and can be finished off with an optional drawstring closure. This nifty feature means the inside of the bag can expand, so it can hold a lot while still keeping all your contents secure.
It has two external pockets which are perfect for quick access items, so you know exactly where your sunglasses are when the sun appears! An optional zip can be added to one of the pockets to help keep important items safe. The pockets sit between the straps, which are stitched directly onto the outer fabric, making them super strong. The base of the bag is also reinforced with specialist sturdy buckram interfacing, giving a defined base.
The Luskentyre bag is a straightforward sew with clever details and is a great showcase for bold fabrics, such as the gorgeous French jacquards we've chosen for the kit.
Luskentyre was designed with the beach in mind but has plenty of other uses if you don't have a beach trip planned soon. It's perfect for a weekend getaway, for taking your projects to your sewing class, or simply for carrying your shopping!
For this supplies kit you have a choice of two designs, with six colour options:
Terrazzo woven jacquard in coral, duck egg and mid blue, and
Geometric woven jacquard in olive, sky and black
Both fabrics have been woven in France especially for us here at guthrie & ghani, with some colourways exclusive to us. The back of the fabric is a reverse of the front side, so you can have fun playing around with using both sides if you like, as we did on the coral sample above.
Both fabrics hang softly and have an almost bouncy texture to them. The terrazzo jacquard is 62% cotton, 38% polyester and the geometric jacquard is 60% cotton, 40% polyester.
