Inspired by a bevy of bright and lively fabrics, designer Bonnie
Kozowski has made countless versions of this go-everywhere bag.
Pockets on the inside are great for holding your phone, keys, and
other necessities. Although most of the bags shown are made from
quilting cottons, the bag also works well in denim, tapestry, and
upholstery-weight fabrics. (If you use a heavyweight fabric, you
don’t need to use batting.)
Materials • 1⁄2 yard print A (bag)• 3⁄4 yard print B (lining)•
18x44"thin quilt batting or craft
fleece
Finished bag: 13x18"
Quantities are for 44/45"-wide, 100% cotton fabrics.
Measurements include 1⁄4" seam allowances. Sew with right sides
together unless otherwise stated.
Cut Fabrics To make the best use of your fabrics, cut pieces in
the following order. To make the Bag Pattern template, use
full-size pattern pieces on pages 5-10. Print one each of patterns
A-F. Cut out each pattern piece. Referring to the diagram on page
11, match pattern pieces at large dots and tape pieces in place to
make the Bag Pattern. Be sure to transfer the clips (Patterns C and
D) and the small dots (Patterns E and F) onto the fabrics
pieces.

Prepare Bag Pieces and Pockets1. Layer a batting bag piece
on
wrong side of each A print bag piece. Machine-baste a scant 1⁄4"
from edges to make bag front and back (Diagram 1).
2. Fold a B print 61⁄2x15" rectangle in half lengthwise to make
a 31⁄4x15" rectangle. Sew together along three open edges, leaving
a 3" opening for turning in the bottom edge (Diagram 2). Turn right
side out through opening. Press, turning under raw edges of
opening, to make a pocket. Repeat to make a second pocket.
3. Position a pocket on the right side of each B print bag piece
at the widest part; pin in place. Referring to Diagram 3, topstitch
bottom edge of each pocket, then stitch two lines 5" apart to
divide each pocket into compartments. Trim pocket side edges along
curve of bag piece; baste a scant 1⁄4" from edges to make lining
front and back.
Assemble Bag 1. With right sides together, sew
together bag front and back from clip to clip along side and
bottom edges (Diagram 4). Clip into seam allowance where marked.
Turn bag right side out; press flat.
2. Repeat Step 1 to sew together lining front and back, leaving
an opening for turning between the dots in the bottom seam (Diagram
5). Do not turn right side out.
3. Insert bag body into lining (they will be right sides
together). Sew together bag body and lining along inside and
outside edges, beginning and ending 2" from top edges (Diagram 6).
Pull bag and lining through opening in lining bottom. Hand-stitch
opening closed. Push bag into lining so the bag is wrong side
out.
4. On the lining, carefully press under 1⁄4" on the handle upper
edges. Keeping the lining out of the way, pin together the long
handle ends of the bag body; stitch with 1⁄2" seam allowance
(Diagram 7). Repeat to join the bag body short handle ends.
5. Turn in remaining raw edges of handles on bag body and lining
handle (the lining handle ends should overlap each other); pin in
place. Turn right side out. Topstitch around all edges to secure
the handle ends and complete the bag (Diagram 8).
