Got My New Jordana Paige Bag!

August 3, 2012 by Sarah White

jordana paige bagRemember when I kept telling you about Jordana Paige’s Purses for Preeclampsia campaign? She was selling her flawed bags for $50 each with all of the proceeds going to the Preeclampsia Foundation.

The promotion did not go completely smoothly, but take two was great. I kept an eye on it for most of the day, and the bags were selling out within minutes of going on sale.

I did happen to snag the bag I wanted, too: an L. J. Kaelms in green. This is a really cool bag. It’s huge, for one thing, big enough to be your knitting bag, your purse, probably even hold some supplies for your kids as well (that may only matter to me). It has a ton of pockets for needles, credit cards and other necessities, a key loop and yarn guides so your yarn will not get tangled in the bag.

The only thing I could find wrong with the bag I got is that it doesn’t have its feet (though there are holes for them). I’m willing to live with that for a great deal on a great bag for a great cause!

I heard that the sale raised $13,150 for the Preeclampsia Foundation, which is awesome. We stitchers can be proud of that. I can’t wait to take my bag for a night on the town (date night tomorrow).

    nice, and you can so add your own feet to it!

Have you read?

Vintage Knitted Coat Pattern PDF – Pembroke Coat

Oh, this one has proper old-Hollywood winter charm.

The Pembroke Coat is a vintage knitted coat pattern that instantly made me think of crisp winter walks, leather gloves, polished boots, and the sort of coat your grandmother would have casually worn while looking impossibly elegant. It has that beautiful longline shape, a classic collar, button front, sleeve tabs, pockets, and a smart plaid-style design that gives it such a tailored finish.

This is not a quick “knit it while watching one movie” sort of project — and honestly, that is part of the appeal. The Pembroke Coat is one for knitters who love a satisfying vintage knitting pattern with a proper garment construction feel. The updated PDF includes the original vintage reference image along with a modern mockup, which makes it much easier to picture how this coat could look in today’s wardrobe.

I especially love that this pattern still feels wearable. Made in grey, camel, forest green, burgundy, or navy, it would be a gorgeous handmade winter coat with that timeless “where did you get that?” look.

As with most vintage patterns, I’d recommend reading through the instructions first, checking your gauge carefully, and being prepared to make small adjustments for fit and modern yarn substitutions. But for confident knitters who enjoy heirloom-style projects, this is a really lovely one to add to the queue.

You can find the Vintage Knitted Coat Pattern PDF in the CraftGossipStore on Etsy.
