childrens' duffel bags
Can anyone recommend a link to free patterns for childrens duffel bags or bags? My friend is a foster parent for long and short term babies, the children come to her house with their belonging in groceries or garbage bags, she is trying to gather duffel bags to give to the short term children when they leave.
I have a group of quilters willing to sew bags as needed, but I need easy patterns that everyone can follow. Thanks

Several years ago, I remember seeing a very easy pattern in the Guidepost magazine for a large drawstring type bag that might be what you could use. I have a copy of it somewhere (which is no help to you right now), but you might try Googleing the magazine and maybe find it.

Project 5 on this link is a duffel bag, but I didn't follow it through so hopefully the link works. https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/free...to-sew-2977746

My quilt guild does an on going project where we make bags to give to Child Protective Services to give to the children in foster care. We use a patten called Mondo Bag by Quilt Smart. In the pattern the bag is made with small squares sewing together to make four 8 1/2 x 27" pieces. What we do is just cut the fabric 8 1/2" by 27", and start from there. It makes a great bag, with a large bottom, so that when you open it, it's easy to see what you have.
