Project bag – a generously sized zipped pouch with detachable wristlet, perfect for knit, crochet or sewing projects, make up or toiletries

Description

I’m calling this a project bag because that’s how I’d use it, but you can use it however you like! If you don’t have endless knit, crochet and sewing projects to put in it as I do, you could use it as a larger sized make up bag, for toiletries, or really anything else you’d put in a generously sized zippered bag. It makes a great gift for a creative friend – trust me, they’ll find LOTS of things to put in it!

The bag is made with a classic Liberty Tana Lawn print called ‘June’s Meadow’ in a colourway of very pale blue with a scattering of pinks, oranges and yellows in the flowers. To make the fine lawn fabric a little more durable, I interface it with a woven cotton, before partnering it with a soft grey yarn dyed Essex Linen by Robert Kaufman. I then add another layer of interfacing to the whole, before adding a layer of fleece for a soft squishiness. I then line the bag with a coordinating pink cotton, which has a slip pocket added, and everything is stitched together with a good quality YKK zip and top stitched for a tidy finish. The final touch is adding a removable wristlet strap using a simple keychain loop and clasp.

The bag stands 7.75 inches / 19.5cm tall and is 9.5 inches / 24cm wide at the widest point. The depth measured across the bottom is 3.5 inches / 8.25cm. I’ve included a picture of the bag with a skein of yarn, to give an idea of scale. If you prefer your bag to open up wide and don’t mind a small gap at the end of the zip, let me know when ordering and I’ll install the zip slightly differently when making your bag to enable this (see the last 3 photos of this listing for an idea of how that would look: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/512226523/project-bag-a-generously-sized-zipped?ref=shop_home_active_5).

If you’re looking for a particular colour scheme or theme for your project bag, please get in touch via convo or a custom order request and I’ll let you know what I can do. I’m also happy to include particular design details or create a different size or shape, if I’m able. If you want to add a matching fabric sewing case, needle book, or maybe a matching coin purse or smaller zip pouch for your, I can do that too.

You can now pimp your project bag and add a hand embroidered monogram, swap out the wristlet strap for an adjustable shoulder strap, or change the internal slip pocket for a matching notions bag! Here’s the listing to add those options, if you’d like to: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/518172855/pimp-my-project-bag-add-a-hand?ref=shop_home_active_1
