Bag Maker's Club Spotlight: StudioKat Designs!
Some patterns just make you fall in love with sewing all over again—and the Cignet Phone Pal is one of them! This stylish little bag proves that big creativity can come in compact form. Whether you are running errands, heading out for a walk, or just love having your essentials right where you need them, this project combines practicality with undeniable charm.
This month, our Bag Maker’s Club spotlight shines brightly on StudioKat Designs, a brand known for blending beauty and functionality in every creation. Founded by Kat Southern, StudioKat’s designs are all about style with purpose. From innovative construction techniques to clever storage solutions, each bag pattern tells a story of thoughtful design.
We were thrilled to feature the Cignet Phone Pal in last month’s Bag Maker’s Club Box—and it quickly became a community favorite! With its smart layout, compact size, and sleek look, it is the kind of bag that makes you think, “I want to make another one—right now!
We had the pleasure of chatting with Kat Southern herself to learn more about her creative journey, her inspiration, and her approach to designing patterns that sewists adore. Kat shared insights on everything from her favorite sewing techniques to how she brings functionality and flair together seamlessly in each design.
Our version of this mini bag features Rustic Amethyst paired with Gunmetal hardware for a polished, versatile look that goes with everything. The design may be petite, but it is packed with clever details that make it a joy to sew.
Sewing the Cignet Phone Pal is also a fantastic way to sharpen your precision sewing skills. From installing zippers to creating crisp, clean edges, this project gives you the perfect balance of fun and technique. Plus, it makes an excellent gift—because who doesn’t love something handmade and functional?
