Salty Sailor Mini Ditty Bag FREE sewing pattern

A super freebie bag sewing pattern that is perfect for storing your little bits and pieces. The large flat base allows it to stand up nicely and the flaps open wide to give easy access to what’s inside.

The Salty Sailor Mini Ditty Bag sewing pattern is super lovely and functional! The designer made several (okay, she has over 10 but who’s counting?!) and uses them daily to corral her electronic cords, sewing notions, first aid items, craft supplies, cosmetics and many other things!

Skill level:
This pattern is for the Intermediate Sewist. You’ll need to know how to install magnetic snaps, determine interfacing requirements and sew gussets in a tighter space.

Sizing info:
When you have finished making your very own Salty Sailor Mini Ditty Bag it will measure approximately 9 1/4″ wide by 6 3/8″ high by 3 3/8″ deep.

Liking this free pattern? Great! You would make our day if you ‘bought us a coffee’ to help with the site running costs. Thank you.

The designer strongly recommends that you use quilting weight cotton for the exterior and lining. Oilcloth and vinyl covered fabric can be used but she recommends sewing in quilting weight cotton for the first time to get familiar with the pattern, specifically the gussets.
