The Very Big Craft Bag by Alanda Craft
If you are looking for a big bag then you are definitely going to love this one. This big craft bag is ideal for those occasions when you need a really BIG bag for market or for taking accessories to craft class. It has lots of handy pockets and plenty of room for your supplies.
Not all craft rooms are large and we found this when we took our rolling craft trolly to one venue. It took up way too much room. So we decided we needed a new option for taking our sewing accessories with us and this is what we came up with – it’s a very large craft bag. It holds a cutting mat, rulers, and all the other bits and pieces that you need to take with you.
It’s roomy, it’s reversible and it looks great and it will also make a great market bag.
The finished bag measure approx. 19½” wide x 22″ and the side gussets measure 4″.
