How to sew a DIY Bucket Bag FREE sewing pattern
|
This is the “How to sew a DIY Bucket Bag FREE sewing pattern” from the designer Sew Very Crafty.
It’s always great when you get yourself a new piece of sewing kit because you are then looking for an excuse to use that shiny new item. The designer recently got herself a grommet setter so she thought what better project to use it on than a traditional DIY bucket bag.
She describes this sewing project as a simple DIY bucket bag! She no longer needed a hammer and setter as the one she has is really just a press.
Like us, the designer, really likes this simple bucket bag. It didn’t take her long to sew and didn’t it turn out great!
