Free Bag Patterns – Totes, Purses, Clutches & More

I haven’t sewed for ages as my machine … inherited from my grandma … had finally given up the ghost.

But I am now in proud possession of my mum’s old machine, … she has a new whizzy one … and am rairing to get started again.

I used my mum’s machine plenty in the past but bust a needle in my first project knocking up a princess costume the night before my daughter’s birthday!!

So it’s back to basics as I get used to it again.

And you can’t get much more basic than bags.

But something basic can still be gorgeous as these fab free bag patterns show. And well a girl can never have enough bags now can she?

Just click on the carousel below to see the full collection of patterns. We’ve got everything from stylish totes and easy drawstrings that are perfect for the summer and the beach, through carry everything satchels, pretty purses and super cute bags for little girls.

Most of them are incredibly simple and quick to make and can be made from fabric off-cuts you’ve already got. And as the patterns are free you really can have a gorgeous new bag without spending a pound. You can’t get better than that now can you?
