Ladies, I have a sister-in-law who is an avid Bingo player and wants me to make for her Christmas present a new Bingo bag. Do you know where I might find a pattern or the dimesions of one to "free-hand" it for her? Any suggestions will be very appreciated. Thanks!

sorry..don't know what it is even ...

Good luck

Oh gee I have seen them, just gotta figure out where. Have you done a google search for bingo bag patterns?

I made one for a friend at work but I used the small Bow Tucks pattern. I used Bingo fabric for the bag. She liked it with all the pockets on the inside for her daubers and they won't fall out. Plenty of room for everything else she carries when she goes to Bingo.

Those are neat. I made one for a coworkers mother. I think I got my pattern from Clotilde and altered it and put inside pockets.

my galfriend in ny has one like this. it is so handy to keep everything needed for a night of bingo in one place

Call me dense, but what does one put in a bingo bag?

Bingo ink daubers (they are so fun to use!) go in the outside pockets, or pens, markers, inside the bag goes your money, snacks or anything you want.

So many bingo places no longer use paper cards but a kind of computer thingy and IMHO it takes ALL the fun out of bingo. My friends and I used to go and have so much fun using our different colors of ink daubers to mark our paper cards.

Boy tells you how long since I went to play Bingo--we had those little chips that we put over the numbers. Wasn't til recently (last 5 or so years) I even heard of the daubers. Maybe I need to get out a bit more.

But those bags---I know someone one another forum had made one-Here is the link http://www.freebingobag.com/

Our band boosters shut bingo down when they went computer...players did not like it..workers to lazy to care.

I've been making them for craft fairs for over a year now. The pattern is at www.sew-sisters.com free pattern for bingo dabber bag. If she uses the large dabbers like I've been making increase the pocket fabric to 16x25 and the bag fabric to 15x18". You will have to increase the size of the circle for bottom of bag to fit. It's really an easy bag to make but after at least 30 of them I don't care if I never see another--lol!

Our volunteer fire department hosts Bingo on Friday night. You must put good luck charms in your bag. I have tiny troll dolls, magnetic chips, magnetic wand to pick them up with, and all the things I would have put in my purse so I only have one bag to carry. The bags always sell well around N. IL
