Here is the Renegade Bowling Bag that can be completed by a confident beginner. This bag is a step up from your traditional tote bag, but it comes together in a decent amount of steps and requires no purse hardware. Because no hardware is involved then the Renegade Bowling Bag is a fast and easy sew. Use it to graduate up from a basic tote bag, or sew lots of them in a hurry for your next craft fair!
The finished bag measures 14″ long by 10 1/2″ tall by 3 1/2″ deep. It’s a great size to sling over your arm or it can be perched on your shoulder.
