Hey! Hey! I am waiting on Organic Cotton to come so I can do some more diaper sewing!!! The motherload is coming tomorrow. In the meantime I had a custom boxy bag to sew so I thought I would take pics while I worked on it and post them!

This free Tutorial is now a pattern available for purchase in my Etsy shop!!

It’s been close to fourty years since I put a zipper in anything. I just hated working with them, until now. It wasn’t as difficult as I remembered. Like getting back up on a bike you might say. Yes, I made my first boxy bag this morning after coming to this site. I made the strap a wee bit longer, long enough to fit around my wrist. I used scrap material, green stripes for this one and a green print inside in place of the heavy canvas, just to see how it would come out. Maybe some spray starch will stiffin it up a wee bit…..

Hi there!
I am going to be making one of the boxy bags for my daughter for her bday and fill it with all kinds of goodies. Great tutorial. I did have one question though. I see on the materials list we need a piece of heavyweight canvas, outer print and fusible fleece. I don’t recall seeing in the directions where you fused any of the pieces. Maybe it’s just written and not show in a pic. Hmm, if you could shed some light on this for me, that would be great. I am going to look through the tutorial again.
Thanks in advance

I just finished two bags last night and can’t wait to make more. This tutorial is wonderful and made things so easy for even a beginner like me. I never thought I could do zippers before. Thanks so much, I can’t wait to make many more bags soon.

Thanks!

Wasn’t sure if you knew or not but the link to the photos from flickr is broken. It was a great tutorial though. I did one a while ago but was returning to make another.
November 3, 2009 at 8:10 pm |
yea Barb, I turned it into a purchase pattern because so many were wanting to use it to sell small quantities and it took so much work to do everything.
Thanks!

Yeah I realized that “after” I left the comment. Completely understand. It’s a fabulous pattern. Thanks.
