This Scrappy Book Bag Has So Many Uses

| It’s Charming in Colors for Any Season!
This beautiful bag is perfect for spring, although it will be lovely in colors for any season. It was designed as a book bag but is nicely sized for many other uses.
It’s also a great use for scraps and the pattern is written for them. The bag has a flat bottom, an inside pocket, and is fully lined.
The completed bag designed by Eilene Johnson from Simply Eilene is 12″ x 10″. She posted a short video to Instagram that demonstrates how it’s made. You’ll find that here.
Note for Non-Instagram Users: Click the link to the video. If you get an Instagram screen encouraging you to sign up, click “Open Instagram.” If the next screen shows a variety of photos, click on “Done” in the upper left corner. This should deliver you to the bag tutorial.
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
