Sew a Volunteer Pack - Bag making

Sew a Volunteer Pack from something you have in your fabric stash quickly to gift to a volunteer or key worker. This is part of my new series of free quick sews to keep you entertained and will hopefully be of use in our current unexpected situation. I’ve designed this bag as a beginner friendly bag that can be sewn up really quickly and given as a gift to volunteers and key workers across our countries to carry their phone, keys, face mask, hand sanitiser, and other essentials, while they are out and about giving their time selflessly to others. You can make it as a cross-body bag or as a grab bag with a short handle to use as an emergency or first aid pack. Great for men or women. A quick and easy sew suitable for beginners. Finished bag approx 9 x 7” Seam allowance is 1cm (3/8”) unless otherwise stated Pattern pieces: 3 rectangles of fabric 9.5 x 11.5” for body and pocket 2 x Zip tabs 1.5 x 3” 1 strip 4 x 53” for a cross body strap or 4 x 15” for a grab bag If you want to make a removable and adjustable strap see my tutorial here:    • How to make a cross body strap. A bag maki...   Purchase the ready made cross body straps in the video here: https://www.spencerogg.com/product/pu...
