About this item

Make basket style storage and carrying bags in 3 sizes using this PDF SEWING PATTERN.

This is a 1-2 hour project for those with solid sewing experience, a wonderful way to bust your stash, and the finished bags are useful for storing all sorts of things.

Besides being super simple to sew and quick to make, these fabric bags are machine washable, fully lined/reversible, fold down fairly flat when not in use, and are durable.

These are not stiff bags and they must have contents inside before they sit upright.

The corners are not boxed (see photos), but made with a fold in the fabric.

The handle is sewn separately to keep pressing to a minimum and make the project quick and easy to complete. It also gives you lots of options for mixing and matching fabrics!

You'll receive instructions with text descriptions and color photos. Pattern pieces for the handles are included and the bag body pieces are measure & cut to the dimensions provided.

The instructions are for cotton linen blend canvas fabric for the exterior and quilting cotton and muslin for the lining. Denim, medium weight canvas, duck, and other mid-weight fabrics are fine too.

The pattern is in PDF format and is available for instant download once your payment is processed. Text is written in English and the document is set up to print on US Letter size (8.5" x 11") paper. Larger A4 size paper is also fine.
