Two-Way Bag – Free Sewing Tutorial
This 2-way bag features a gathered bud-shaped gusset as its accent. The fabric used for this piece is echino’s “kajitsu.” While featuring a fruit motif, the abstract pattern can be interpreted as either polka dots or flowers. Made from a sturdy cotton-linen canvas, this fabric is ideal not only for bags but also for interior décor items such as cushions.
