The Casbah Carryall (and my new Silhouette!)

by

I started a new project……

 

……inspired by my new Silhouette machine!

 

 

I knew exactly what I wanted to try first…..I had the machine cut out a bunting design (a download from the Silhouette store) onto vinyl adhesive:

 

 

Here’s the cutout on the screen. Since the cut is a “positive” cut, I added pieces of vinyl to outline the bunting triangle…….

 

 

……and masked the other areas of the screen:

 

Now I just have to finish the rest of the pieces today:

 

 

I’ve been ready to release a new carryall pattern and as I silk screened I decided to use the bunting design to make myself a new bag! I silk screened the design on a canvas tablecloth and then cut out the pattern pieces.

 

 

I love wearing white all summer and this bag will be perfect to compliment it!

 

Love how detailed the Silhouette can cut!

 

The Casbah Carryall is the perfect design for a tote, handbag, beach bag, grocery bag etc. 8 pages of instructions and 8 pattern pages…..great for any level. It’s in the shop now!

    Love your bag! I’ve been thinking about getting a silhouette for a while now. Just wondering if it is Mac compatible? Was it difficult to set up on your computer? Thanks for all your inspiration!

  5. Amreen says

    I’m a bog fan of what the silhouette can do, but dnt get it here in india 🙁

    Love the tote!

  6. Adrienne says

    I love all of your patterns but I don’t have any kids, so I am SO happy that you made an accessory!!! Thanks for the chance to win!

    I found the perfect canvas fabric in my stash last night! It would be perfect for this bag! 🙂

  15. Kristen says

    You “Rock the Casbah”. Sorry, it had to be said – lol. Great, now that song is stuck in my head……. 🙂

  17. nina hudson says

    Love that bag! Would love to make one to cart all the unnecessary things you end up with when you have 3 children. Not sure i can pull off the white though, i am thinking about turquoise instead.

  18. Kate S. says

    As soon as I have $300 saved up I am totally investing in one of those. Freezer paper and exacto knives have nothing on the Silhouette.

    Love your style/blog!

    Fun. I haven’t got into the silkscreening yet. Hubby isn’t allowing new hobbies till I clean out some old ones 😉 but would love to make the tote!

  83. All ice carlo says

    I love the bag and have been dreaming about the silhouette. Oh, and don’t worry about your self tanner mishap, it will fade. Lol. Just do a silhouette transfer and henna your arm.

    I am amazed at how intricate of a design the Silhouette is able to do! I love your patterns and am working up the courage to attempt to sew with knits.

    I would love to try a bag like this. I got a silhouette machine for Christmas and it hasn’t left the box yet! I see all these great projects, but I think it intimidates me a little bit:) I need something to make me get it out and try it!

  101. Molly says
