Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Bag-Making Basics: Reversible Tote & Zipper Pouch »

Instructions

I made this bag slightly smaller than the template provided because it was all the material I had. This means that you don't always have to follow the directions implicitly, it allows you a lot of room to be more creative.

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Accessory

For: Unisex

Style: Hipster, Retro / Vintage


Materials

Scrap Material

What was your inspiration?

Fun, Funky and Practical. I wanted a project bag to carry my current knitting projects in.

What are you most proud of?

'some' of the seaming came out better than expected. My machine sewing skills are.... dodgy!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Keep a hot iron on hand! I don't know how many times I reached for the iron to press down raging fabric!
