My sew group now makes these bags to be given to foster kids with a quilt inside. They hold a ton of stuff, easy to carry, and easy to stow under a bed.
Here is the pattern. free from Martindale We use solid fabric instead of fat quarters for the bags for the kids and teens. Older boys tend to like camo, sport team logos, or solid color bags. oh and not have the handles tied to look like a bow. We use thick soft rope for the boys.
