I like getting all of my clothes for the week out on a Sunday, and I had been keeping each day’s clothes in miscellaneous shopping bags with a bit of card pinned on indicating the day.
I knew I wanted to make a set of 7 jolly zip up bags that would fold down small for the clothes, and I really liked the look of the Shoe Bag pattern in Fat Quarter Home, which I borrowed from my library.
I had leftover cat fabric from a baby playmat I made in 2021, so I made this bag.
It rolls up nice and small, and the loop keeps it tidy. Modelled here by my ginger baby:
When I made it, the cat fabric was printed really wonky, with a line on the pattern dropping almost 3/4" over 12".
I had to “Fussy cut” a row of cats, but thankfully you can’t tell the fabric was wonky in the finished bag.
I’m pleased with how much it holds, but I want to make the 7 I plan for the full week about 2" larger, which takes them out of the fat quarter size, so I’m having to be a bit creative.
This is the fabric for the next one I’m going to start soon.
