Hippie Chick's BUCKET BAG

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Bag-Making Basics: Drawstring Bag & Bucket Bag »

Instructions

Have fun with it (and don't forget to let Craftsy know how much we appreciate their free courses).

Because this uses small amounts of a few different fabrics it is a great stash buster. I plan on making many, many more.

I have to fess up and admit that I got carried away with applying the pocket and agonizing over getting the channel placement just right. As I was clipping ...

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Functional

For: Women

Style: Casual


Materials

Most of the fabrics were from my stash. I did have to buy the solid green cotton and the fusible fleece. Both of those were 50% off, making this a very affordable project.

What was your inspiration?

I was on the hunt for a particular type of bag to tote to one of my clubs. When I saw this I knew it was "the one".

What are you most proud of?

I used mostly stash fabric and I finally tried out my Singer deluxe monogrammer (for the large letter).

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

You are going to have fun choosing the fabrics. The possibilities are endless. Classy? Cute? Funky? Won't these make great gifts?!??

Reply to this comment...This is one of the FREE Craftsy courses. It's called a Bucket Bag. I'm glad you like it and hope to see you make one, too.

I love this bag, the colors compliment each other perfectly. I have watched most of this video but you have inspired me to watch the rest of it and make a bucket bag myself before this day is over. Very nicely done!

Thank you, Fire Girl. I love Oriental themed prints and had a fat quarter of the purple/green one. Just enough to use for the pocket and also some planned accessories for the bucket bag, including a couple of smaller bags to tuck inside.
