****THIS IS A PDF PATTERN FOR INSTANT DOWNLOAD AND NOT A COMPLETED ITEM****

+++This is a measure and cut pattern which means that there are NO TEMPLATES to print off and match up- Yay! You need a rotary cutter, ruler and mat and you can cut the pattern pieces straight from the fabric. This is easier than it sounds because the pieces are all simple squares and rectangles.

When you buy this pattern, you have my permission to make this bag to sell- no mass production allowed of course but a few to sell at craft fairs or online, that sort of thing is fine. All I ask is that you credit me as the designer. I wish you all the success in the world with sales!

All measurements are in INCHES.

I sew and therefore I have scraps. And mess. I make a mess. Or rather my sewing things do so perhaps I am not to blame…I wanted to address both of these heinous crimes with one pattern and I think that I am a long way along the road to doing that. This pattern uses a QAYG technique to ‘make’ fabric and the finished article is FABULOUS for sewing room storage. Or bathroom. Or baby’s room. I store my wool in one and it is great for curating the needs of a project. I can gather everything and make sure that I have it and then it goes into the one portable cube ready for making.
This pattern offers you the versatility of three sizes and I am pretty sure that you will find uses for all of them.

Pattern Rating: confident beginner sewist with some knowledge assumed.
