PROJECT BAGS FOR SEWERS WHO KNIT

PROJECT BAGS FOR SEWERS WHO KNIT
There is something about us sewists that makes us drawn to other creative pursuits, and one of the best crossover crafts is knitting. Do I have any knitters or crocheters in the house? I've got a project that will merge your two great loves.
As we enter cosy season, you may find yourself with multiple projects on the go. If you are a sewer who knits, you might notice your WIPs multiplying as you cast on another knit. As you have sewing skills under your belt, you could make your own project bags to keep all that lovely work in order.
Whether you like to craft on the go or from the sofa, we have some excellent project bag sewing patterns that will keep everything orderly. If you also like to gift handmade items, you could make a project bag for the knitter or crocheter in your life.
Grainline Studio Town Bag
Do you like taking crafty projects on planes, trains and automobiles? I certainly do! The Town Bag is a great everyday do-it-all project bag, no matter what project you have on the go. It has a drawstring closure and plenty of interior pockets for stashing all your project bits and bobs. It's large enough to fit a Field Bag inside but small enough to fit into a larger bag if needed. The tote-style handles make it easy to carry around with you.
Noodlehead Quarry Tote
Bucket bag-come-project-carrier, the Quarry tote is as useful as it is beautiful. This fun bag comes in two sizes (small and mid-sized), both feature a flat base, zippered front pocket, and handy interior mesh slip pocket. If you are someone who likes to knit on the go, the options for handles and an adjustable crossbody strap make it easy to carry around. There are also options for a recessed zipper, magnetic or metal snap closure, or no closure at all. The bonus zippered pouch is, well, a bonus, and is perfect for keeping your supplies secure.
Lou Orth Zip, Divide It! Basket
Do you keep your knitting within grabbing distance from the sofa? Me too! I think this is the ultimate crafty grab bag that's perfect for keeping those WIPs accessible, making squeezing in a row or two irresistible. This fun-to-make storage basket features handles and a zippered divider, perfect for a whole range of items, especially crafty projects and supplies. The zip divider keeps smaller items safe, and it is fully incorporated into the lining so there’s no little gap at the bottom of the basket. The small version is also fat-quarter friendly, so if you have some knocking about that you are at a loss of what to make with them, this can take care of that problem!
Lasenby Samphire Duffle Project Bag
This compact project bag is perfect for knitting and crocheting on the go. It has lots of customisable pockets inside, loops for your scissors and stitch markers, a drawstring closure, slingback strap and grab handle. Roll the top down, and this versatile design can also morph into a basket for crafting at home. The styling also means it can happily moonlight as a day-to-day bag... if your knitting allows!
Grainline Studio Field Bag
Little sister to the Town Bag, the Field Bag is smaller in stature, but does not comprise of knitting-friendly features. It features a roomy main compartment with interior pockets designed for corralling tools, patterns, and miscellany; grommets for managing multiple strands of yarn (ideal for colour work); and a handy wrist strap. Use it for yarn crafts or even embroidery around the house, or pop it into a larger bag for crafting on the go.
Sew Over It Hobby Bag
This chameleon can lend a hand to many hobbies. Fill it with gardening tools, yarn and knitting needles, quilt pieces, embroidery projects, paints and brushes or anything else you can think of.
The bag has plenty of room with a total of 10 pockets (even more if you subdivide the inner ones!) to keep your tools and supplies organised. The side and bottom edges are bound with twill tape to make it nice and strong, and the tape is also used to create short handles so you can carry your hobby with you!
Lasenby Hebe Project Bag
This versatile tote comes two sizes and two handle lengths to choose from. The small bag is perfect for a coffee shop knit morning, and the large bag is ideal to take away on holiday. Hebe can also be used at home as a basket, with the top edge turned down.
Hebe has lots of customisable pockets inside for needles, circular needles, hooks and tools, as well as your phone and notebook. There are loops for a scissors keeper and yarn feed. A double drawstring closure gently squeezes in your yarn (no zip for your yarn to get caught up in). You can make your bag extra intricate with a sashiko embroidery design version here.
Noodlehead Plover Pouch
Finally, I have a pouch option for those of you who prefer that to a bag. Plover is a fun zippered pouch in three sizes that you'll love to make and use! All three sizes have a dividable interior mesh pocket that is perfect for keeping everything organised, and the medium and large sizes have an interior zippered pocket too. The versatile nature of the pouch means this pattern is ideal for making gifts for loved-ones.
