2 Clear View Project Bags

These 2 bags were a custom order. Karen sent me the fabrics she wanted to use for the bags. I chose the placements of the fabrics. They have clear front windows to see what's inside the bags. I also added a clear window on the front stripe fabric to hold a label of what's inside or her name.  The bags have boxed corners that fold flat when not in use. They hold a lot of stuff too. She was pleased with the bags, which is always so nice to hear.

Both bags. They each have the striped exterior fabric, but the lining fabrics are different. One is colorful wavy stripes on black background and the other has colorful cats on a black background. Karen loves cats. There are carry handles that flopped behind in this photo, but you can see them in the other photos below.

I added a clear window on the striped fabric she could add a label of what is inside the bag. 

Even though you can see into the clear large window, it isn't always apparent as to what project might be inside or what other items you put into the bag.

Project Bag with a Clear Window for a Friend

A friend of mine had her birthday last month, so I made her a project bag with a clear window. I followed the tutorial from Rosie's Art Studio to make this one. I like that this bag will fold flat when not in use and filled with a project. 

I didn't like the way that the wrist carry strap was hooked to the zipper pull as Rosie made hers. All I could think about was if something was heavy in the bag, all the stress would be put on the zipper, so I made a small fabric tab that I sewed into the top back of the bag instead and clipped the wrist strap to that.

The clear window is nice to be able to see what project is inside of the bag.  

The lining fabric is hard to see, but it is a gray-blue print of cross hatching.

The bottom of the bag is shown expanded here. If you pull on the 2 sides where the openings are, the bag then flattens out for storage.

Here you get a better look at the fabric. I love this print. I had just enough of this fabric to make this bag. (I made a waist bag out of this fabric a couple years ago that I sold). You can also see the fabric tab I made here and hooked the wrist strap to.

Happy Sewing! Here is the tutorial I used to make this bag. Thanks Rosie!
