You can download the FREE pattern at the end of this document. You may need to add 1/2″ seam
allowance when you cut the pattern on your fabric. If not, it really doesn’t matter. The bag is big
enough to use as is. Again, at 100% scale the bag measures about 15″ across. This download is

If you are using heavy weight home decor fabric for the bag on both sides then I don’t think you need
to add interfacing. If you are using regular cotton, you may need to based on how sturdy you want
the bag to be. I only added interfacing to one side of my bag. I left my denim side as is.

Cut out two pieces of each side, so that you have a total of 4 bag pieces. If you are using interfacing,
cut out as many as you plan on using.

Iron on the interfacing to the wrong sides of the pieces you are attaching it to.

Let’s start!

Sewing the outer bag pieces right sides together on the sides and the bottom, leaving the top and the
handle untouched for now. Repeat for the inner bag pieces.

Take your inner and outer bag box off the bottoms. Form a triangle on the bottom corners and sew
about an inch from the end. Cut.
Now that you have two bags, fit one in the other right sides together.

Now, you will sew the U shaped and the side right sides together of each inner and outer piece. So,
one inner piece( right side) together with one outer piece (right side). Sew it all the way around,
leaving about 6″ open on the top straps. You may need to leave more open if you use a lot of
interfacing so it is not too hard to turn inside out.
Now, for the hardest part… turn the bag inside out through your openings.

Next, take the straps that are adjacent to each other and sew matching colors right sides together.
Iron your work and top stitch all the way around!
