Do you like to make bags? I am a recent bag-making convert and I’m hooked. They are one of the many things on my list to make.
And I LOVE free tutorials. This one is the famous Buttercup bag from Made by Rae. I loved it so much, I’ve since bought her pattern for a bigger version.
Well, I recently hit the jackpot for free bag patterns and tutorials:
This wonderful resource collects bag patterns and tutorials from all over the blogosphere into one handy list, complete with pictures and links. I discovered it when they sent me a note to let me know they had included my messenger bag tutorial. I was completely flattered to be held in such good company.
Here are a couple that I really want to try:

The Wasp bag by Machen/Machen. I found this one and bookmarked it during the Sew Mama giveaway. I love it!
This one is by Ric Rac – a really stylish, but quick bag. Perfect for gifts!
Also at Ric Rac: this Selvedge bag. Darling.
There are plenty more (tons!) in all shapes and sizes, so have at it!

July 8, 2009 at 7:22 pmThanks for the link…I love making bags. If I have extra fabric when I make my daugher a sundress I make her a double drawstring bag. Two Christmas' ago I made over 45 double handle sacks to give to my family for shopping. They were a big hit, especially since they were this shiny black stretchy denium that I bought for $1 a yard!!:)
