Sew wonderful bags using this simple technique.
Then sew a little pouch.
Then a drawstring bag.
Because the technique is too good not to explore it!

Start choosing fabrics!
These bags are great for summer!

I love to create patterns for bags in multiple sizes.
Four of my bag patterns have templates for large, medium and small bags.
The large bag is so useful for lots of activities.
The medium and small sizes are great for a mother-daughter team.

This new pattern has instructions for two sizes: a medium size and a smaller size, perfect for little girls.

but it has style!

Snaps are inserted at the top of the bag; keep them closed or open, as you need.
Instructions on how to insert metallic and plastic snaps are included.

The way the bag is folded to create the bottom corners is quick and easy. 

Great way to showcase favorite fabrics from your stash

Fabrics too beautiful to be cut in your stash? Someday you will have to use them, why not NOW? The design of the bag allows fabrics to shine!

Quilted bags on foam or fleece

For most of my bags I used foam as interfacing but I tested the pattern on fleece too; both options are great, detailed instructions on how to use the interfacing are included in the pattern.

Design #2

Maybe you need more space on the front of the bag to feature a beautiful design on fabric? I thought about this and I included a second design for this pattern.

The technique remains the same, but instead of two panels for a bag, you will use four panels.
This will create beautiful sides for the bag.

Add a beautiful texture to the bag by sewing different quilting on the panels.

If you have a few squares from a layer cake pack, you need 5 squares (even 4) and some lightweight interfacing to stitch this drawstring bag.
