When you have finished making a Kato Project Bag, depending on the size of bag you make, it will measure approximately:

  • Large – 13½” by 11½” by 5″. Good for large sweater projects.
  • Medium – 12″ by 9½” by 4½”.
  • Small – 10″ by 6½” by 3½”. Perfect size for sock projects.

This sewing pattern download has 13 pages of clear, easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions and color photos to make this bag together with a set of full-scale computer-drawn templates that do not need to be scaled. You simply print, cut out and assemble the templates and use them to make the size of your choice. If you do want to work from measurements, full instructions are also provided so you can just measure cut, and sew with no printing needed. We love that you can pick from either option.

Could these handy project bags be your next sewing project? We think they should be!
