I found a great pattern right here on QB!!!
My DGD made one and won a first at the county fair!
Here is a link to the pattern: https://www.shopmartingale.com/image...uarter-bag.pdf

The picture we took at the fair does not show her bag well.

The size bag in the pattern is really big. Maybe for slumber parties to haul a blanket and pillow and pjs. The pattern uses a few sewing machine skills so it is not a first time beginner project - however it is not terribly hard to graduate to after a few successes. Old clothing - men's shirts, old dress pants or dresses could be used for this as well as pieced quarters. Each girl could bring 6 all alike pieces and then trade or you could figure out how to cut the bag with enough pieces for them to each trade out one. Then you would have to be able to identify/personalize each person's bag with out problems. The bag I made needed shorter elastic.
