Coming Soon and see her at Quilt Market
The Mini Miranda Bag pattern will be here in 5-6 weeks, but she will debut at Quilt Market in Houston this coming weekend. She can be found in the Blank Quilting Fabric, Moda Fabrics, Checker Distributors, E.E. Schenck’s, and Brewer’s booths. Stop by these booths and ask to see her. Blank will have her at their SchoolHouse session, too. I won’t be at the show.
Fabrics on the cover shown above
The fabric on the cover is Hoodie’s Collection from Blank Quilting fabrics. It is fabulous! I’ve only seen 7 pieces in this line which includes black, gold, white and red prints. I don’t know when it will be available, but it will be introduced at Quilt Market this week.

How does she compare to the Miranda Day Bag?
While plenty of us have already used the Miranda Day Bag pattern and scaled it down to make a mini – this new pattern takes it a step further. I’ve had a chance to play with the overall dimensions and she is slightly smaller than the mini Miranda posted at my blog recently.
Details
– Size: 10 1/2″ wide at the base, 9 1/2″ tall, 4″ deep front to back.
– I re-worked the pieced cover to perfect proportions.
– 6 inside pockets, plus a few narrow pen pockets, re-configured for maximum Laziness.
– Narrowed the fabric handles a tiny bit for optimum comfort and usability.
– And last, but not least, she gets a new size ‘F’ Bag-E-Bottom bag support!

A new bottom!
Bag-E-Bottom size F (stands for – Joan is ‘Finished’ coming up with new sizes – maybe) will be available at the same time. For you Bottom aficionados’, size F falls between our smallest size ‘B’ (Towne, Veronica) and size ‘A’ (Gracie, Whimsy). Size F is approx. 3 1/2” x 10” (actual 3 5/8” x 9 7/8”). That means the Mini Miranda is smaller than Gracie and Whimsy, yet larger than Towne and Veronica.

Joan ~ I love the mini even more than the original if that’s even possible. I really appreciate all the work you do to keep us in great purses!

Fabulous fabulous!!! I can’t wait to get my hands on her. I was showing her big sisr to my class this weekend and they all said I wish she was just a little smaller. Oh what a surprise she will be to them! Love love love all the fabric choices you made on her, oh what possiblities she has. I will have to start looking at some of my stash, ok I really don’t an excuse to look for more fabric! Thanks for giving us the little peak!

Joan I am looking forward to this new bag sounds like the perfect holiday gift, and I can use a lot of my fabric stash
Of course now I will need one of these in every fabric to coordinate with my wardrobe!!! She is just great!!! The Munchkin might even need one in his favorite train fabric to tote his treasured engines in!!! (with pockets for his trading cards -how perfect is that!!)
Thanks!
Joan–This bag is lovely. Can’t wait to get my hands on the pattern!
Joan, this is lovely., and the fabrics scrumptiuos!
I will have to see who is coming to MX in Novemeber so i can send them the pattern and the new Bag e Bottom F. Will these be availble at your online distributors?
Would you scale down Gracie? I love it. I made two and was able to scale it down a little, but I have to keep the base in mind.
My last online order of fabrics and patterns included 9 (NINE) Bag e Bottoms, I am making bags for Christmas.
I have to plan far in advance so I have time to order online and then send the order to a stateside friend that is coming for a visit.
Keep changing and designing…you can’t be finished!

Can’t wait to meet you this weekend and see your new goodies. What is your booth number????
Hi Gina,
I’m sorry to say I won’t be attending Quilt Market this weekend. However, look for our new Girl at Blank Quilting or your favorite distributor.

Hi Joan!

Thanks

Hi Joan ~
I LOVE this bag and can’t wait to get my hands on the pattern!! I am wondering about the fabrics in the second photo. I have been looking for it but can’t find it anywhere!! Can you tell me if this is a brand new line from Moda Fabrics? Or has it been discontinued!! Any information on this would be greatly appreciated!!
I also wanted to thank you for the informative emails and all the hard work that you do!!! I appreciate it very much!!
Smiles,
Mary :o}
Hi Joan! This must be one of the projects you were working on at Quilt Away. I really like seeing the different fabrics. I have not tackled my Newport Tote yet, but I intend to soon!

Lissa sent me your blog… LOVE THIS BAG! Absolutely adorable… will definitely be purchasing this pattern when available.
What a great purse, can’t wait to buy the pattern. It will be just great for Christmas presents for my granddaughters as they prefer a smaller purse. Keep up the great work.
Joan-
What exciting news!! I love Mini-Miranda and can’t wait to see her at Fall Market. Sorry to hear you won’t be at the show. I was hoping to catch up with you, but we’ll connect later. The fabrics you used are terrific and really look gorgeous on mini-Miranda. Congrats!
Maria
I just ordered the new Mini Miranda and her Bag-E-Bottom, also the Runaround Bag from The Cotton Vault. Do we know what fabric requirements she needs yet? Maybe I missed them. I need to de-stress and back to sewing. My machine misses me. Love all your patterns,Joan. I am going to start on the Sassy Bag soon.

Are you sure it’s Soiree by Moda? Doesn’t look like anything from that line….
Love the ‘Mini Mi’ version. It’s just the size I need. Do you think it will be with the Australian outlets, eg Punch with Judy, in late November also? I love the fabrics you’ve chosen as well.
Would love to get this pattern, don’t know when you posted this so not sure what year in November your talking.
Hi Kathy, The Mini Miranda Bag is available here: https://www.craftsy.com/sewing/patterns/mini-miranda-bag/289062 Thanks for asking!
I love the bag, hopefully our local quilt store will have this pattern in November
