Tomorrow is Craft and Chat at the Centre, but due to a pupil free day, I have decided to spend the afternoon with both my children (worlds best mum right here). Our new teacher was going to show us how to sew a bag from scrap material. I really, really, really wanted to sew a bag, so I did. I Googled for what seemed like an eternity and found all links led to this Hobo Bag. The bag is reversible, but I am boring and kept the inside and outside the same.

This bag took me only a couple of hours to make and the tutorial is pretty easy to understand. I did mess up on my first bag, but it still resembled a bag. I also learned how to sew a dart (again I just Googled this).

Here are a few pics to show you how easy it is (if I can do it, you can).

So if you are interested in making this bag please click here Hobo Bag. The tutorial comes with a pattern pdf and step by step instructions.
