I purchased a pattern called "Hello Pouches" that was designed by Kaitlyn Howell of Knot and Thread Design. There are 4 bag sizes in the pattern that have fabric bottoms and clear tops. I thought that they were very cute!
There are several sources for bag supplies in the Portland area and I found just what I needed at Sharon's Attic in Hillsboro, OR. The list included Soft and Stable by Annie, 16 gauge vinyl, and a couple of double slide zippers. I decided to make all 4 sizes to match the colors of the zippers that I purchased.
If you've ever sewn bags like these that might be Bags by Annie, you'll know that they are not the easiest things to make and there is a LOT OF BULK. I broke a few sewing machine needles while sewing through some of the bulkier seams, and then had to hand turn the sewing machine wheel over those areas so that I would jam up the machine and break more needles.
Anyway, they are very cute and here they are all done.
The smallest one measures5" high x 6" wide at the top, and 4-1/2" wide at the bottom
The medium size measures 7" high x 8" wide at the top, and 5-1/2" wide at the bottom
The large size measures 8" high x 10" wide at the top, and 6-1/2" wide at the bottom
And the extra-large size measures 10" high x 12-1/2" wide at the top, and 7" wide at the bottom
I hope you like them!
