Are you as much of a “bag lady” as I am? I love bags. And not just purses….I just love bags. I feel like I am constantly carrying a million things around and liZ and I are always trading stuff with different bags that go back and forth to each of our houses. I even have a whole shelf in the mud room devoted to bags. Most of which are sad and not-so-cute and could definitely use an upgrade. So, recently when we were given the opportunity to review a fun new handmade book called On-the-Go Bags (aff link), I said yes….mostly because I am a well known bag lady and it’s the perfect opportunity to upgrade to cute stylish bags!
It is such a great concept for a book and has great modern bag designs that everyone will love. Also, there are so many fun designers that contributed to each of the bag projects and it is fun to see all of their design modern concepts. And we even know a few of the designers so it was totally fun to see what they came up with for their bag project.
I do really like how this car organizer….doesn’t that look awesome? And with the step by step directions in the book they make it look like an easy sew project. It is so on my “to sew” list for next year.
And look at this over-the-shoulder bag that I think is so perfect for tweens and teens. LOVE it. I really want to sew this one up too.
You can look at more of the bags and details about On-the-Go Bags HERE so be sure to go and check it out!
PS Hope you are having a wonderful Thursday….I feel like I have been caught up in so many projects lately that my sewing machine is gathering dust. But my plan today is to stay in my comfiest of pajamas and finish up some handmade gifts, which sounds like a delightful way to spend a day. What are your plans?

I love to make bags, and this one has really unique projects.
is this blog part of the give away also? I don’t see where to talk about what we like? At any rate, I don’t have a tween or a teen but I like that OTS bag..
Looove the Minivan Organizer!! & the Cart Caddy, tho would make for stroller!
I love the organizer, too! That sounds like a great day! I’m babysitting grandchildren, so no sewing for me today.
Bag Ladies unite!
My only plan for today is to get out of my jammies and get to the post office to send off my Christmas cards — late again!
Wait! What? I’m 67 and would love to make and use that over-the-shoulder bag! Guess I’m just young at heart 🙂
The cover bag looks like something that I would love to have. How sweet.
Love all the bags and the organization that goes with it. I want the car organizer with 7 kids the van can be disorganized .
I love the organizers with 7 kids it helps to be organized.
Love big bags…I haul so much stuff around! Van organizer looks great!
Love the bags in this book.
I have enjoyed the Book Blog Tour, good ideas and I am ready to make all of the items.
This looks such a great book!
I know the book is something I’d love to have as I prepare for our planned move into a tiny house on wheels which will always be “on the go”! The projects are tailor made for me! The organizer will be just the ticket for our home’s loft storage and for our vehicle as we travel and stay in our state and national parks. A smart backpack will be necessary as we hike the trails, too, and there is frequent shopping for groceries for the tiny tiny house, so totes are a necessity! My collection of practical bags will be an important part of our journey, as will my beloved sewing machine!
Love the idea of the backpack hands free for when I’m on my bicycle…..not on it today as it is pouring down but I have achieved some sewing for gifts.
I like a small cross body bag with lots of pockets. Keeps my hands free, my self organized and saves my body!
However, there are so many choices in the book I’d likely make several for friends.
Today is rainy and windy and I’m working on some zippered pouches.
This looks like an awesome book, definetely on my lists of wants.
Love the idea of the trunk organizer, it would be awesome for taking your supplies to classes!!
I really love the minivan organizer.
So excited about this book, I love bags as well!
