🌿 The Craft Carry-All Bag – PDF Sewing Pattern
Finished size 17" W × 13" H × 5" D • Scooped top with padded ring handles • Pieced or single-fabric version • Purse feet • Interior and exterior pockets
The bag that finally holds the whole project 🧡 Roomy, structured, and built to be carried — a scooped top edge framing two padded ring handles that don't dig in, feet on the base so it never sits in the damp, and pockets everywhere for the small things that always get lost. Make it in six fabrics for a proper scrappy statement, or keep it quiet in a single cloth ✨
