Any Dr Who fans out there? This small bag is the Tardis of sewing storage.
This bag has specifically been made without an external zipper. As the designer says – it has no more “ears” on the sides. It does, however, have hidden magnetic closures which clasp together like magic. The designer really has made it look more elegant and if you like it definitely can be used as a purse or handbag.
When the bag is open flat, the sides can be used as trays for small items, cosmetics, your phone etc. The magnetic snaps are also functional as pin and needle holders. When snapped on the sides the bag has a sturdy box shape. It’s perfect for crafts of all kinds and means you can take your craft items with you on the move.
The designer will explain how to make this smooth and flat closure panel on the top of the bag. She will also describe a new technique of inserting D-rings in the middle of binding so you can add a shoulder strap.
