Size bag in class: Large
This is a fun and fast sewing bag and Beverly will provide you with lots of tips and tricks. Pick out fun outside fabrics and a light lining fabric and prequilt it if you like or leave it without quilting. Add a contracting zipper with a cool zipper pull to make it your own.
Once you have mastered the large bag, you can then venture into creating the set of 5 different clamshell sized bags. The Clam Up bag are great for gifts or filled with treats or claim it as your own and organize anything that needs containing.
Easy and fun to make, these bags in five sizes are perfect for storing and carrying make-up, sewing supplies, tech gear, and more.
The pattern includes complete step-by-step instructions for making the bags with or without quilted fabric and for adding optional iron-on vinyl laminate to make the inside easy to wipe clean.
Double-slide zippers and handy grab tabs make the bags easy to open wide and attached side panels prevent contents from falling out. An optional strap with swivel hook may also be added.
When empty, the bags nest inside one another to save space.
