**ENGLISH ONLY**

PAPER PATTERN

This pattern has two sizes of drawstring bags to choose from. Large: 14"x14"x6" and the medium size: 10"x10"x5". The large bag, 14"x14"x6" can carry lots. Stuff it full of quilting projects, supplies, and fabrics to take to your sewing class or retreat. It makes a great beach bag to hold all your valuables safe from the sand. It also makes a great carry on for travel. You can even use it as a stylish grocery bag. The drawstring top closes tight to protect and holds what's inside. The medium bag is great to carry projects to class or even use as a purse or knitting bag. Both bags are fully lined with no raw seams inside or out. You can tuck the top drawstring closure part down into the bag if you want an open top bag. They are made with two stabilizers, so the bag has structure. They are custom designer looking bags. The pattern has easy to follow written directions and has 14 diagrams to follow along with the written directions. The pattern has drawings for each step in the pattern. The fabric is what makes the bags whether you like modern fabric or country primitive fabric, they all look great. The pattern has directions to making the fabric handles or use cotton webbing handles. It also has cotton cording to cinch the top of the bags closed. The 2 stabilizers used are Pellon SF101 and Pellon 987F Fusible fleece. This is also a great pattern to kit up. The medium bag can be sewn with 4 fat quarters or 1/4- yard cuts and the lining can be 2 fat quarters or 1/2- yard cut along with the stabilizers. The larger kit bag is the same, but you just need a little more than a fat quarter for the top closer fabric. 10" WOF or 3/8-yard cut. The pattern is fast and easy and once you make one you are going to want to make them in both sizes.
