A Project Bag That Stays Open While You Work
Most totes slump the moment you let go, so you end up holding the bag open with one hand while you dig with the other. The Laurel is built over foam stabilizer, which keeps the sides upright and the mouth open on its own. Five pockets keep scissors, thread, and a pattern separated instead of migrating to the bottom, and the bag is fully reversible, so you get two looks from one build.
Finished dimensions: 23in wide at the top | 17in wide at the bottom | 10in tall at the sides | 8in deep
Skill level is advanced beginner; some experience with quilted bags helps, mainly for handling the foam layer through the seams. Made in the USA. Find more bag projects in our sewing patterns and books.
