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.

I added a clear window on the striped fabric of this bag too.

Clear Project Bags & Portable Pockets Too!

Here are some project bags that I made a few months ago. One was for myself and one for a friend. I enlarged the size of the project bag by Rosie & David patterns (Rosie's Art Studio) because I wanted a larger bag for myself and wanted to make sure it worked before making another one for my friend. It turned out great! So here they are.

This was my project bag that I enlarged a bit.

I love this bottom of this project bag as it stand up like a tote bag, but when you pull the bottom sides it flattens the bottom, making it easier to store when not in use.

Here is the folded flattened bottom.

This is the enlarged project bag that I made for my friend.

I filled it with yarn I had to show how much it can hold.

I had some leftover fabric, so I made all 3 sizes of Portable Pockets (Around the Bobbin pattern) to match the project bag. Portable pockets are great to have to carry those little items in that could get lost in a large bag or when you just need extra pockets for your bag.

The 3 sizes of Portable Pockets showing the front sides with them unzipped to see the linings.

Zipped closed here.

Backside of the Portable Pockets have divided mesh pockets, but for the smallest size I added a Kam snap because I felt the pocket was too small to sew and divide the pocket in half. The snap makes it easier to get your hand inside to retrieve your small item. I added a small rivet at the top of the larger PP where the pockets are divided in 2.

The large project bag I first made is on the left and then I enlarged the large size to create an extra large size that is on the right for comparison.
