Paraska

Designed by UJAMAA BAGETTES

A softly-structured, three-way bag with a curvy shape

PARASKA is a round, softly structured, versatile three-way bag:

a handbag using the handles
a shoulder or crossbody bag using a ROCK STRAP, or
a backpack using the same ROCK STRAP.

PARASKA is named after another one of our grandmothers, this one a Ukrainian Baba who was versatile and multi-talented. She could knit and crochet, sew and embroider, no-one had a better garden and how she could cook and bake. She almost always wore a full bib apron - until a camera appeared - and that apron is recognizable on the front of this bag. And she could hug with a hug that enveloped you in her warmth and softness. To her Canadian friends Paraska was Pearl so it is appropriate that our PARASKA is round, multitalented, and hug-able - with a nice fat bottom.

Emmaline Bags sells BAGETTES patterns online, and all profits from these pattern sales go directly to the Grandmothers Campaign.

UJAMAA GRANDMAS, a Calgary-based group of volunteers, is part of the Grandmothers to Grandmothers (G to G) Campaign of the Stephen Lewis Foundation (SLF). SLF works to address the consequences of the HIV/AIDS pandemic upon families and communities in sub-Saharan Africa. The G to G Campaign supports the voices and expertise of grandmothers in Africa, whose leadership is critical in reclaiming hope and rebuilding resilience across their communities. As part of Grandmothers to Grandmothers, UJAMAA GRANDMAS is committed to the Campaign’s three goals:

to raise awareness
to build solidarity and
to mobilize funds for community-based organizations that support African grandmothers and the children in their care.

Since 2004, as a result of a variety of fundraising activities, both handcrafts-related and otherwise, over $1,500,000 has been sent in support of the Campaign. To learn more about UJAMAA GRANDMAS and the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign, visit www.ujamaagrandmas.com.

UJAMAA BAGETTES is a small sub-set of UJAMAA GRANDMAS, raising funds through the sale of pdf patterns and finished products. A very small portion of the proceeds from the sale of patterns is used to offset some of the costs of pattern testing and bag production. The remainder is sent to the Foundation to support our African sisters. BAGETTES’ finished bags are sold at the UJAMAA GRANDMAS annual BAGS, BABIES & BEYOND in Calgary, Alberta. If you have a technical question about this pattern, contact us at bagettes@ujamaagrandmas.com.
