The Big Bag Pattern

The Big Bag is simple and functional. It was designed to carry lots of stuff! Sewing stuff, retreat stuff, school stuff, traveling stuff. Pockets on both sides of the inside give it just enough storage for the smaller things, but not enough to interfere with the roominess that is the signature of the Big Bag. The Big Bag pattern is 6 pages of full color photos and step by step instructions. The Big Bag pattern DOES NOT include paper templates. Fabric pieces are meant to be cut using a rotary cutter, mat and ruler.
