Timeless Style Meets Quilted Charm in This Bag
It’s Ideal for Birthdays, Holidays, and Craft Fairs!
If you’re looking for a bag that blends practicality with patchwork flair, this charming drawstring bag may be just what you’re looking for. Whether you’re sewing for yourself or gifting handmade goodness, this bag offers a delightful mix of form and function, while the patchwork star adds a classic touch that never goes out of style.
One of the standout features of this pattern is its flexibility with fabric choices. The front showcases a striking patchwork star, making it ideal for:
- Scrap busting: Use leftover charm squares or fat eighths to create a vibrant, eclectic look.
- Coordinated collections: Choose prints from a single line for a cohesive, boutique-style finish.
- Seasonal themes: Think autumn tones, holiday prints, or soft pastels for spring.
The drawstring closure and optional adjustable strap allow you to play with texture—try linen or gingham for a rustic vibe, cotton for everyday use, or even solid fabrics for a modern twist.
The pattern includes instructions for two versions, offering endless variations. The strap-free pouch is ideal for makeup, notions, or gifting, while the cross-body bag features an adjustable strap for hands-free convenience.

You can easily adapt the design to suit your needs. Add interior pockets for organization, or use decorative stitching or embroidery to personalize the patchwork star.
Designed by Cheri Demeter, the finished bag measures approximately 12″ x 10″ – a generous size for daily essentials without being bulky. It’s beginner-friendly while still offering enough detail to satisfy seasoned quilters.
