LiEr from ikat bag shares a tutorial for a unique spare carry-all bag. At first glance, it’s a super cute little drawstring bag made to look like a strawberry. When you open the bag and unfold it, you’ll find that’s actually a large carry-all tote bag. Brilliant!! Go to the tutorial.

Looking for strawberry Fabric? Check these Strawberry fruit designs out.
The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
Is it possible for me to teach this project to a group of women at a retreat to be held in September? Didn’t know if you have copyright or restrictions. They’re so darn cute, I’m making lots for gifts at Mother’s Day!
Thanks!
