Storage bags

[Vezelay]

I've been quiet here recently, struggling like so many and not sewing much. But I feel on the up so thought I'd post about the few simple items that did get made. Small bags and pouches are my default when I can't face anything more demanding.

First up are these DIY storage bags https://www.applegreencottage.com/diy-storage-bag/. The pattern gives all the various piece sizes and is free if you sign up to the newsletter. The instructions/tutorial are online. These aren't lined but have French seams. The fabric was discovered tucked away when we cleared my parents-in-law's house. They were large cotton scarves that he may have brought back for her on his exotic work travels.

They look great @Vezelay and the fabrics are really interesting.  Great use for them.  Given me some ideas actually.

@Vezelay   Really attractive as wall hangings, IMO. :thumbsup:

Just to add that the bags measure 12.5" x 8" plus a 3" gusset on each side - the smallest of the pattern's three sizes. If I'd filled them for the photo you would have seen that they're surprisingly spacious. A pair of my size 7 shoes fits comfortably.
