I am thrilled to share my new bag pattern “A Bag For All Reasons.”

This easy to make tote is so versatile you’ll wonder how you lived without one for so long. The Bag for All Reasons is a simple sturdy little bag that could….

Perfect for dance or gymnastics class, this easy bag pattern has room enough for dance shoes, a sweat shirt and pants, a water bottle, hair brush and clips and even a snack.

Or maybe a visit to the library.  This cute bag pattern has nylon mesh hidden in the handles and fusible fleece lining the bag for reinforcement, this sturdy little bag can easily handle the weight of a few books.

How about taking it to school? My niece loves her new bag for preschool, it’s just right for bringing home schoolwork, art and treasures.

The Bag for All Reasons is happy just about anywhere you take it, be it a church tote, or a meeting (well maybe not happy at a meeting ; )) to the tutor, or as a simple bag to carry your latest sewing, knitting or embroidery projects.

I’m even working on a few Halloween totes for my kiddos to use as their Trick-or-Treat bags. The straps feel comfortable on your shoulder and are not too long to hold in your hand.

The pattern includes step-by-step instructions with full color photos and diagrams.  A template is provided for creating a darling butterfly embellishment, but you can customize your bag with any embellishment that really speaks to you.  My girls wanted monograms.  My niece’s bag has a darling apple for her school bag.
