Cross Stitch Project Bags

Sometimes when I feel like making something that isn’t a quilt, I like making these project bags to keep my cross stitch projects in. They are pretty simple to make and are very useful. Over the years I have managed to grab clear vinyl remnants at Joanns or Hobby Lobby. They are cheap and easy to store. The last one I made was the first time I made a non-vinyl version. Instead I took scraps and made a block from Lori Holt’s Vintage Farmgirl book and used that as the front instead.

I like your project bags but I love your strawberry bag! Pat Sloan showed it on her site but of course couldn’t give measurements. It shouldn’t be too hard to figure the block. Very nice and useful, as well.

You just cant have enough of these project bags, can you? Yours surely are lovely - both with and without the vinyl. Your Lori Holt strawberry is adorable. I recently made a few and before you know it they were filled up and I realized I could make another half dozen or so!

Can you make one with a gusset on the bottom so that it stands? I'd take a gallon or two gallon ziploc bag with a gusset to use as a pattern...maybe make it a little larger. It would also allow more room inside the pouch. I just like larger bags myself for my cross stitch.
