Free sewing pattern "No Waste Shopping Bag"
If you're looking for a quick and easy sewing project, you've come to the right place.
Even if you're a beginner, you can sew personalised shopping bags quickly and easily with our instructions. You'll find two different versions in our instructions. It is also structured in such a way that you can sew two bags from 60cm of fabric without any fabric scraps. So there are no annoying scraps left over. It doesn't matter which version you choose, whether you sew two different versions or the same one twice. The pattern remains the same for both versions.
Want to personalise your bag even more? Then grab an iron-on picture or a patch and personalise your bag just the way you want it. Or choose your sewing thread for the visible topstitching in a contrasting colour and topstitch it with a decorative stitch or, for example, a triple topstitch.
