Stinson Sisters' Bags - Knit Bag
Discover a unique knitting project with our knit bag pattern, designed to honor one of the inspiring Stinson sisters, Katherine. Not only did Katherine pursue an individual flying career, but she also collaborated with her sister, mother, and brother to establish a successful family business specializing in planes and flight instruction. This bag captures that spirit of adventure and creativity.
In this design, we celebrate strong women who wore many hats and were often photographed in various social settings. One particular photograph of Katherine at a dinner with a stylish purse inspired this charming knitting project. With our detailed pattern, you can create a bag that embodies both elegance and functionality.
Our felted knit bag features a delightful wings motif, inspired by the motifs in the book. This design is embroidered freeform and beautifully embellished with 10 grams of Japanese seed beads in coordinating colors, making it a true work of art. This bag not only showcases your knitting skills but also pays tribute to a remarkable woman’s legacy.
Crafted with easy-to-follow instructions, this felted bag is perfect for knitters of all skill levels, particularly those who are beginning their knitting journey. You'll need four large buttons (all the same size and color) and a smaller button for closure to give your bag a polished finish. Additionally, don't forget to gather your materials, including sewing needle and thread in a contrasting color, and a set of leather purse handles to complete your project.
The knit felted bag works up quickly and is an ideal beginning project that will challenge and excite novice knitters. Celebrate Katherine's spirit and creativity as you create a beautiful, functional bag that you can be proud to carry.
