Knitting Project Bag Sewing Pattern

Knitting, knitting, knitting. It is such a wonderful thing! Knitting gives me so much joy and has the power to make any day a little bit more cozy and fun. I guess you are a little bit similar as you found this blog post.

The downside of knitting, though, is the many unfinished knitting projects. I think there is no way to avoid having unfinished knitting projects lying around as a knitter. I really like to have at least two different ongoing knitting projects at all times.

Usually, I like to have one simple knitting project with stockinette stitch for moments when I don’t want to think much about how to knit and one knitting project that has cables or color work that is a little bit more challenging.

Organizing Your Knitting Projects

When you have a few different knitting projects lying around, I have learned that keeping them in project bags is one easy way to keep the projects in one place and organized.

How To Make Your Own Knitting Project Bag

1. Cut out a piece of fabric that has the double size of the project bag you want to make.
2. Zigzag the edges of the fabric.
3. Fold the fabric with the right side inside and sew around the bottom and the side leaving the top open.
4. Fold the top part of the project bag to make a tunnel where you can pull a string through.
5. Leave a little opening in the tunnel so you can pull through a string or ribbon and do so.

That is all. Making one of these project bags takes me around 30 minutes to finish, and if you want to make several of them, you can do so by just cutting out many fabric pieces and making several of them at the same time. So worth the time invested to keep your knitting projects organized!

What Fabric To Choose For Your Knitting Project Bag?

I would say a good fabric for knitting project bag is some kind of cotton fabric. The fabric I chose for this specific bag doesn’t have any stretch to it but I have also made project bags with jersey fabric.

I prefer fabrics that are soft and not too thick but I actually think any kind of fabric could work so if you have some fabric at home I think it should work just fine!

Hope that you will be happy with you project bag! If you have any questions, please let me know in the comments!
