Not even joking....this is one of my favorite projects in the whole book!! I have even enlarged the pattern so I can make them adult sizes. I love them so much that I have been making them as gift bags for my daughters friends birthday gifts. This project is fun, easy, and the possibilities are endless. The only thing I don't do is the
velcro. The bag stays closed fine without it, and I would rather do cute appliques on the front.
Here is what you need......
- 1 yard of fabric (the pattern calls for Home Decor weight but I just use interfacing on my cute quilting weight fabrics and it is PERFECT!!!)
- 2 pieces of velcro, each 1" in length
That is it!! It is seriously the easiest, cutest bag I have made, and believe me, I have made a lot.
Here is what you need......
I like this one too. Super cute and fun!

ReplyDeleteThanks Leigh, your doing a great job!!!
oh man this one is really cute....great job
ReplyDeleteThat dino print is adorable! I haven't tried this pattern yet, but now that my daughter's friends are getting a little older (4) and are pretty much smothering under their collections of stuffed animals, this bag would be great for birthday gifts.
ReplyDeleteLove this one too! Currently have all pieces cut out ...now I just have to sew it together!
ReplyDeleteThe bag looks great, and the fabric is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute bag and the fabric is perfect!! Nice work, can't wait to see what you come up with next!
ReplyDeleteI am at the assembly stage of this one and am so frustrated. This is my first sewing project, so I'm still learning!! But is there any way you could post pictures with each step of the assembly? Or would that be asking too much? I'm stuck and haven't been able to find anyone to help me. Thank goodness I found your blog!!
ReplyDeleteI think this one is my favorite so far:) SO CUTE!
ReplyDeleteOh man I love that messenger bag! So cute! And you're right, cute for kiddies and adults. I love that dino print...with those cheesy teeth, cute!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Love it! I also like the idea of making an adult size one - such a cute bag!!

ReplyDeleteLove the bag!! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteHow big would you enlarge it to make it adult size?
