another clever & cute & practical design!
So cute that I had to buy two!
This is such a cute project bag. I love the quilting and the kitten is so sweet. It is a nice size and the zipper is a plus.
I love this bag so much! It's perfect and adds to my beautiful collection of m.a.b.e.l bags!
Nice simple design. I use the large size to hold needlepoint supplies and yarn.
I love this little bag. It’s like a little bit of sunshine that hold a one-skein project perfectly. Thanks!
I am so happy that I got one of these bags because it is so cute! It’s also well made and the perfect size for a small project.
I absolutely love this bag. I want one in every size and shape.
Wonderfully soft & cozy popover, with a generous pocket for holding stuff while I potter round the house. I’m very taken with the different colorful feedsack fabrics, including the cutest print with tiny bunny rabbits - a very sweet detail. I like the zig zag hem which follows the edge of the original quilt.
This coat was a splurge for me so I hemmed and hawed for a long time before buying it, and am SO delighted I did. It’s cozy and comforting, easy to wear with everything, and I’ve had lots of compliments on it. Best of all are the darling patterns on the vintage scraps - a cheerful riot of color - and I love wearing something that someone long ago took the effort to piece together by hand. And it’s environmentally sound as a well-made up-cycled item. My favorite garment!
Beautiful! Perfect size for small projects. The canvas lining makes it very sturdy and gives it a very finished look. The woven handles are just the right length. There is love in every stitch of this construction. I also have the small and large size in this Maker Caddy and I love them. Would love to see a notions pocket added in the inside.
Beautifully made! Love it for my sock or small shawl project. 😺

Purpose in repurposing
Everything I make at m.a.b.e.l takes time. I specifically source pre-1950s quilts because of their natural fibers and their designs that are so old they’re modern again. I work slowly to appreciate all the handwork and decisions that once created them. Every quilt is beautifully unique, and we love making it shine.
Travel With Us
Japan Craft Tour
Every year, I take a small group of crafters on a hands-on exploration of traditional Japanese art. Together we travel through Tokyo, Kyoto, and Tokushima for workshops taught by Japanese artisans in temari, sashiko, indigo dyeing, knitting and more!
