    Projects with Sunnyside Ave fabric

    Published: Apr 27, 2018 by Amy Smart · This post may contain affiliate links · 14 Comments

    It has been fun to see more projects created with my Sunnyside Ave fabrics! I thought I'd share a few here.

    I'm still so smitten with these apple pincusions. They are made with the apple pincushion pattern by Retro Mama.

    Amy of Ammeroonie Designs made some darling bags that feature the apple prints. Wouldn't they be cute teacher appreciation gifts? (Speaking of which, I need to get on that...)

    You can find Amy's post and the tutorial she used for the large bags here. She's also putting together a tutorial for the little zippy bags soon.

    Melissa Corry has designed a fun new pattern featuring this line (love how it shows off the greens!) called Criss Cross Applesauce.

    You can find the full tutorial for this quilt pattern here.

    A couple of more bag ideas: Erika of Hello.ErikaBea on Instagram created this adorable patchwork bag. She used denim for the base. If you want to make one yourself, you could use my Simple Sturdy Bag tutorial and replace the upper panel with darling patchwork!

    The apple print is also adorable for a tote bag on it's own! This is Melissa Mortenson's Retro Travel Bag.

    Finally, check out this adorable bedding made by Emily of Simple Girl Simple Life.

    You can find this custom bedding available for sale in Emily's Etsy shop. (They will soon be selling the wooden beds as well!)

    And in case you missed it earlier, be sure to check out Andy's darling Playground Quilt Tutorial. Love the way it shows off the bright colors!

    It's so much fun for me to see how other people are using this fabric! You can see my other quilts using Sunnyside Ave here and here.

    Sunnyside Ave fabrics are available now at your favorite local shop. If you are looking online you can find it in these shops: Fort Worth Fabric Studio, Lou Lou's Fabric Shop, Lady Belle Fabrics, the Fat Quarter Shop, Brew Stitched, Simply Love Fabrics, Judith's Quilts, and MSQC.

      Love these projects. I had missed the Simple Sturdy Tote bag tutorial previously. But have been looking for a tote pattern for this cute fabric I recently found. Thanks!

      I can't even imagine how proud you must be, to see all these darling creations made using your very own line of fabrics! I have my bundle in hand and am going to combine it with your first line to make a quilt for a granddaughter. Can't wait! And I think a bag with a patchwork panel will be the way to use up scraps. 🙂

      All the apples just kill me! 🙂 I LOVE them... It takes me back to when I was a little girl at my grandmothers house and all the memories that comes with it. I've loved seeing all your posts with this fabric line. I'm so happy for you!

        Here is the PDF for the tote bag tutorial. https://www.pellonprojects.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/SimpleSturdyToteBagProject.pdf

        This is for a solid bag, but you could create a patchwork panel similar to the bag in the photo.
