All-Time Favorite Tutorials [Bags]

Last week I focused on some of my favorite "for-purchase" patterns and pattern-makers, this week I thought I'd focus on my all time favorite freebie "bag" tutorials.....

BAGS


Made By Rae
This free pattern is very well known among the sewing community.  Made from a fat quarter, this bag packs some style and is quite simple to make.  My first attempt while not so great, was followed up with the "redemption" version which I was very happy with.  My mistake though was entirely my own fault though.

Super cute, super easy!  I love this tutorial and I love this clutch.  I have made a bunch of them for gifts (and a few for myself) and they are always a big hit.  My full review can be found HERE.

U-Handbag
 Once you get past the pleats, this bag is an easy sew and the leather handles give it that "store-bought" look.  I had made this bag for a craft show originally, but when it didn't sell I kept it for myself (bad, I know), and I've gotten tons of use out of it!  You can read my review of the tutorial HERE.

I encourage you to try these freebies out!  

I'll be sharing some more tutorial favorites in upcoming posts:  Stay Tuned!

  1. Nice collection. I have bookmarked the Buttercup and the Gathered Clutch before, but the other one was new to me. I think I just need to get over my reluctance with zippers in bags and get sewing.
