Our new favorite bag for all occasions! It’s called Red Rocks, and we already love it! And because it’s so versatile, our new motto is: Sew the Red Rocks bag and be happy! ;)
Our new Red Rocks bag is actually two bags in one:
Hidden inside the spacious bag flap is a second bag that easily fits your phone, wallet, and lipstick!
We decorated the bag flap individually with appliqués. But it also looks brilliant when embellished with textile printing.
The bag is named after the impressive rocks that can be admired in the magically beautiful area of Sedona, Arizona.

Inside the large bag flap is a fully lined, spacious zippered pocket.
It gives you lightning-fast access to your phone, wallet, and lipstick.
The Red Rocks is feather-light and offers plenty of room for everything that matters to you. It can be worn comfortably as a shoulder bag or as a crossbody bag. Without the strap, it becomes a pretty clutch.
The small darts give the bag volume without making it look puffy.
Depending on the seam allowance used, the bag is approx. 37 x 24 cm (closed).
You can make it from many materials.
Cotton woven fabric, quilted bag fabric, faux leather, canvas, denim, corduroy, oilcloth, and sailcloth are all very suitable.
The brown "hunting bag" in the picture is a gift for my big sister. She loves being out in the fields, forests, and countryside, hiking or going for walks. That’s why she needs a weatherproof bag.
For this reason, I sewed the Red Rocks for her out of super-soft vegan leather. For the lining, I chose my beloved quilted fabric, "Moskau," by Swafing. You can get the brilliant Moskau bag fabric in many colors at DaWanda. I’m sure I’ve recommended it on our blog dozens of times. :)
I don’t just love the clear colors—the quilting also means you don’t need any additional volume fleece.
The bag flap offers plenty of surface area for appliqués and embroidery. You can also find appliqué templates at the end of the eBook.
For the blue and red bags, I also used the Moskau bag fabric for the exterior.
Just gorgeous, right?
