Slipped Stitch Studios Project Bags

Slipped Stitch Studios Project Bags, owner Laura Lundy met Marly on a plane trip (to Ohio for a TNNA event) have a chance to visit and allow us to eavesdrop on their ‘catching up’.

Laura Lundy of Slipped Stitch Studios

Laura Lundy of Slipped Stitch Studios

Laura learned to knit when she and a co-worker dropped in at a learn to knit class at a yarn store.  The instructor’s critique of her knitting style really spurred her to be a success at the new skill. That was about 10 years ago. In the following years she has become a mommy to two kids and begun her business, Slipped Stitch Studios (website: SlippedStitchStudios2https://www.slippedstitchstudios.com/). Last fall, she learn to sew. As she studied her project bags and realizing what she liked and didn’t like so much, she began creating new bags that she could market.

She has worked hard to have a new bag each year for Madrona and Stitches West. Slipped Stitch Studios creates new bags and buttons each month. Pattern Wallets has become a favorite product for herself and crafters alike. Marly’s favorite and Laura’s most popular product are the two skein bags (link to the product page: https://www.slippedstitchstudios.com/collections/two-skein-plus). Bag of the Month (or BOM as referred to in the Ravelry group (link to the group: https://www.ravelry.com/groups/slipped-stitch-studios) has also been a popular way to collect per a favorite genre. It began with Dr. Who, and has progressed to Alice in Wonderland (the current one) through Jane Austen and a zombie version of Jane Eyre. (Some of them can be seen in the Hall of Fame: https://www.slippedstitchstudios.com/pages/club-hall-of-fame) Each collection includes all kinds of fun things like stitch markers and tool tins, perhaps a skein of yarn in a matching colorway. Some items can be purchased as add-ons, but there are items that are tossed in as a ‘Surprise’. All given a great deal of thought and possibly put together by hand in very unconventional ways….

    Great interview and quite inspiring. As a mom of a toddler boy who also doesn’t sleep well – I found great comfort in the idea that #projectbagsdon’tcount and it will be used to justify some purchases.

    I would totally agree that #project bags don’t count as stash! I have a swift cover and two project bags from slipped stitch studios and love them all. Can’t wait to see your booth at Stitches West again this coming year – I’m sure there will be something new that I can’t live without!

    Oh my word! I was at the park with my family tonight and toting my new SSS Mix Tape project bag… My husband said, “New bag?” And where’d he would normally ask why I need another bag, he just nodded and smiled. Your fabrics make everyone understand that #projectbagsdon’tcount.

    Ironically as I was listening to the podcast I was relocating my craft room floor to another room so that I could organize. If only I had project bags from slipped studios then I would not be accountable for having too much yarn since #projectbagsdon’tcount
