We will be making a modified Stirling east-west bag and adding a fun bow to the front panel, perfect for the holidays or a New Year's Eve party!
The sew-along will take place on the weekend of December 6-7, 2025, and will be hosted on my YouTube channel. I'll run each day as a live video where you can ask questions along the way and make your Stirling right along with me. Exact time for the videos will be announced closer to the event. There is no cost to participate in this event, other than to purchase the patterns that we will be using. After the lives, the videos will stay on my YouTube channel so you can watch them back at any time.
You will need the following patterns for this sew-along.
- Stirling East West Bag from K.dill Handmade
- Fiona Bag from Izza Zaya
Saturday we will be cutting out the pattern pieces that we will need for sewing. You will need to print out your pattern pieces at the specified size based on the graphic below. Please do NOT cut out your fabric ahead of time as some of the pieces will need to be adjusted from the pattern. I'll provide those modifications during the cut and prep video. Additional supplies that you will need are also listed below.
Saturday, December 6 will be our cut and prep video and Sunday, December 7 we will put it all together. On Sunday there will also be time for a Q&A and I'll be announcing the Holiday Stirling Challenge, which you won't want to miss!
I'm really excited for our sew-along this year and can't wait to make these festive Stirlings with you.
