bags! project ideas + free sewing patterns

one my favorite things to buy, though i've yet to really make, is a bag. i used to be addicted to my tote-bag-purse-substitute, which took me years to finally break my habit of. and i was only able to do that because i carry a baggu tucked in my purse, just in case of a tote-bag emergency.

these bags are super functional and in some cases probably pretty expensive to buy. maybe not the grocery tote, but it would be so simple to make and you could pick a fun fabric. the weekender bag looks so sleek and stylish. i would carry this thing around with me everywhere. ah, i can't even imagine how much yarn this thing would hold.
