Bag Patterns

Filters

    Every bag in your sewing room starts here. I've put together a small but mighty lineup of designer bag patterns I genuinely love sewing myself, from easy totes to advanced quilted zipper cases. Whether you want a quick weekend project or something meaty to dig into, there's a pattern here calling your name.

    Designer Bag Sewing Patterns, Curated by a Bag Maker

    I only stock bag patterns I've actually sewn or am dying to sew. That means every pattern in this collection is thoughtfully drafted, clearly written, and worth your weekend. You'll find favourites from Noodlehead by Anna Graham, ByAnnie, and Center Street Quilts, with new designers added as I fall in love with them.

    Find the Right Bag Pattern for Your Skill Level

    Whether you're sewing your first zipper pouch or tackling a quilted travel case, there's a bag pattern in this collection for you:

    • Beginner: Pepin Tote (rectangles only, no templates to print)
    • Advanced Beginner: Fieldstone Tote, Sandhill Sling
    • Intermediate: Plover Pouch, Quarry Tote, Redwood Tote
    • Advanced: Nightingale Zipper Case

    What Kinds of Bags Will You Sew?

    This collection covers the full range of bag making projects. Structured totes with reinforced bases, sling bags for hands free everyday wear, organized zippered pouches in multiple sizes, crossbody travel bags, and quilted zipper cases that fold open like a treasure map.

    Paper Patterns, Shipped From Canada

    Every pattern in this collection is a physical paper pattern, mailed from my shop in Kitchener, Ontario. Orders typically arrive in 1 to 3 business days across Canada and ship internationally too. No printing, no taping, no fighting your home printer at midnight.
