Two-Way Vertical Bag – Free Sewing Tutorial

*All Rights Reserved. Please refrain from the unauthorized use of project photos.

This bag can be used in two ways: as a convenient tote bag, or as a long bag for storing vertical items. The fabric used for this bag is from the “HOME DECO” series, which was created with the concept, “decorating rooms more fun.” The panel features popular animals such as the Pallas cat, white tiger, red panda and capybara. The cute animals peeking out from the trees are full of loveliness. In addition, there are small baby animals hidden behind! As the motifs are printed both on the front and back, you can enjoy making bags and small items with designs all around. It is an easy-to-sew 100% cotton sheeting, a perfect material for making bags and accessories.
