Sewing pattern: Window front project bag

You never know when you’ll find yourself with a few minutes (or more) of free time. Perhaps it’s while sitting in the waiting room, or while waiting to pick your kid up from school. Keep a project bag with you so you can put those bits of time to crafty use. This window zip bag makes the perfect project bag! The mix of fabrics on the back, lining, and zipper are pretty, while the big window on the front makes it easy to see what’s inside. Boxed corners make it roomy to hold your materials.
