Christmas Project Bag: Spectacular Entry 2025

I recently swapped with @Reese52 for the Santa Sack Swap and I made her this project bag.

I found some vintage fabric at the the ft store and thought it would be perfect for this. (The red fabric turned my husband’s underwear pink :rofl:)

I followed this tutorial on YouTube: https://youtu.be/pSMPKzNbuYs?si=p2hJgBMLdDtec0Hq

This was a fun project to do!

Some WIPs

Pressing the seam open

After I sewed the outside of the bag I just couldn’t resist….it looked like a hat :cowboy_hat_face:

I’m not sure what type.of.fabroc this was, but it was tricky to work with.

I love your bag! Such a cool design and great fabric choices. That pic with you wearing it as a hat is too funny.

Now this type of bag would make a perfect knitting bag! The drawstring closure is good so that cats can’t get the yarn, but the handles and shape make it easy to stand on it’s own or move about. Thanks for the link. I need a few of those for my 2026 knitting projects!

Is the red fabric fuzzy?

Looks like you did have fun making it! :grin:

@Tapestry thank you! :grin: I’m actually at my mother-in-law’s house and I’m using her machine in that picture. I’ve had a hard time sewing at home. She watched the kiddos that day so I could sew. I had SEW much fun. :grin::grin:

@AIMR ooh, it would definitely make a great yarnie bag! The fabric was smooth and silky feeling. I’m used to using cotton fabric or felt, so the floppiness was weird for me lol

One thing thing in the video I didn’t add was a top stitch around the bag. I kept seeing the bag to itself so I decided not to do it. :melting_face:

I look forward to seeing your version. :purple_heart:

@Reese52 I’m so glad you like the bag design. It was fun to do. I feel like I’m always late when sending, but I do always send. :face_with_spiral_eyes:

@MistressJennie oh yea! I’ve been so busy I forgot about that! I’ll have to read the thing to figure out how to enter

@RagingSloth thank you and I’m sure he’s mostly indifferent :joy:
