Wardrobe therapy is all about bags this week. This post is for Alana, who asked whether I had come across any patterns for a good library book schlepping bag. As I seem to have bookmarked practically every free sewing pattern or tutorial on the net, it was an easy job to search. My favourites are these:
This one at Craftster, which is based on a plastic shopping bag. The integrated handles look really strong and it’s a pleasing shape. I have never made one, though.
Here is a great basic tote bag tutorial. I used this one to make a library books bag. It’s very sturdy.
If you can knit, this Saturday Market Bag is great fun to make. I made one out of cotton with shorter handles.
For a little accessory, this sweet change purse could be useful for holding a library card.
Great links! Thanks…I think I’ll be making the one based on a shopping bag for everyone on my Christmas list and I can use up some of my fabric stash.
You know, I may actually be able to do the tote bag turorial one. You are so generous to do this for me, I feel like a heel it’s taken me so long to click through them.
Thanks Zooza. You’re a gem.
