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

Instructions

I made a drawstring and sewed that into the bag as a handle in the same fashion as the handle Kristin demonstrates, just laying the two ends into the top seam instead of the side seam.

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Accessory

For: Unisex

Style: Cute, Casual


Materials

Two fat quarters, zipper, interfacing

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

If you're careful with cutting your fabric, you can get two or even three bags out of a pair of fat quarters.

The bag is so cute, I want to make one too! I love your fabric choices and the way you reinvented the pattern by adding the handle. Very nicely done!

Thank you! They're not hard to make, and Jo-Ann has a nice assortment of fat quarters to choose from.

Batik material wonderfull color matching of the zipper and lining. I like the handle instead of a loop. I'm going to try that on my next pouch. Love it!
