What bag is the third one on the top row?
Amazing! Thanks for compiling a list!
Great post!
Thanks for sharing!
But to hold all your belongings,you’ll have to choose a good beach bag first.I bought two.
You may want to have a look.
Thanks, Heather, for referencing my post about upcycling purse hardware and for the great list of free bag patterns!
Happy to do it! It was a great post and should be pinned for reference.
Thanks for letting me share it!

Thanks for including my Diaper Bag on the list Heather! Really appreciate it 🙂
Thank you! I’ve already made the buttercup pattern and I absolutely love the purse. Can you tell me which pattern is for the tote that is on the left side, 1/2 way down in the collage. It’s light blue with yellow and orange accents and an orange flower pattern? Thank you again!!
It’s very nice design of tote bag, How can customized it?
I can’t find the pattern for third one in top row . It would be helpful if the name was on the picture .

Hi I love these bags but it would be helpful to have small pictures of each bag next to the links because it takes a lot of time clicking on each link to see what the bag actually looks like. Thanks.
great blog and list of patterns. between this and fabrics that i will start purchasing at canvasetc.com, i should be able to make some nifty stuff. I just bought some ballistic nylon and cotton duck from them.
Wow its awesome tips for sling bags and earring… Saw almost all your work… Its good. Even I m a hand embroider and I love detailing embroideries…
These bags looks so good variety of bags in such a different colour. With amazing combination.
