Dress Up Patchwork Bags with a Heart or Initial
These Make Wonderful Gifts for Any Occasion!
Pieced hearts dress up pretty patchwork bags, making them charming gifts for any occasion. They’re also great for scraps and look wonderful in any color combination.
Plus, they’re simple to make and have no exposed seams.
Bags of this size are useful for so many things. Fill them with sewing tools and supplies, take-along projects, makeup, jewelry, small kids’ toys, and more.

The finished bags, designed by Natalie from Bodobo Bags, are 8″ tall x 7″ wide x 3″ deep when open. They’re 9 1/2″ at the top when closed.
A second pattern is provided by the designer for substituting an initial for the pieced heart.
The letter templates are sized to fit within a 4″ square, replacing the heart (and for use in other projects). Attach them with fusible applique.
