Patchwork Project Bag Tutorial

Hello, friends, and happy Monday! Today I’m super excited to finally be sharing a video Patchwork Project Bag Tutorial with you. We filmed this about a month ago and are so happy to be releasing it in time for some last-minute Christmas (or first project after the holiday) sewing. You’ll definitely want to watch the video for this one because I share some very helpful tips for putting this together. I’m also super happy that I now have two of these favorite bags to use! Keep reading for more details and materials required for these bags from my book A Quilting Life Home & Hearth: Quilts and More to Cozy Up Your Decor.

Patchwork Project Bag Tutorial

The pattern for the Patchwork Project Bag is included in my Home & Hearth: Quilts and More to Cozy Up Your Decor book (find more details on the projects included in the book here). This super versatile project bag finishes at 10 ½″ x 11 ½″ and features a see-through vinyl front, a quilted backing, carrying/hanging handle, and curved edges. This bag is perfect for carrying and storing small handwork projects, notions and tools, and even make-up, beauty, and toiletry items. It would also make a great coloring crayon and coloring pencil/marker case for any budding artists. There are lots of uses for this terrific bag. I’m using mine to carry English Paper Piecing projects for now.
