Sweet Sunday Bag pattern
A great little tote purse with or without ruffles and with three options for leaving the top of the bag open or closed.
The Sweet Sunday Bag is a sewing pattern for a small, boxy, two-handled bag, perfect for toting around your Sunday paraphernalia. But the designer says feel free to use it any day of the week. It is large enough for most bibles and scripture sets, with extra room for a hymnal, study book, notebooks, etc.
This pattern makes a great little tote bag for a child or grown-up. There are two pockets on the outside and also two inside compartments that you can customize to your preferred size.
We think this would make the ideal project bag. Great for knitters and those who enjoy yarn crafts, or anyone who likes to craft on the go. If you enjoy some hand sewing while you watch TV, you can keep your projects organised in this handy tote.
This awesome pattern has three variations:
1. An open tote,
2. A flap closure, and
3. A zipper closure, plus each variation can be made with a ruffled side.

What you will need to make the Sweet Sunday Bag:
- 3/4 yard (70 cm) of 45″ wide exterior fabric.

- 2 1/3 yards (2.2 metres) of 20″ wide woven fusible interfacing.
- 1/2 yard (50 cm) of 20″ wide foam interfacing.

As far as fabric is concerned, the designer recommends for the exterior you should use quilting cotton, cotton canvas, twill, denim, duck, linen, etc. Thicker fabrics like leather or vinyl can be used as well. For the interior fabric, you should use quilting cotton, cotton canvas, etc.
For the interfacing, the designer recommends that you use woven fusible interfacing. A medium-weight non-woven fusible interfacing can be used as well. For thicker, stable fabrics such as vinyl or canvas, you should not use interfacing. Foam interfacing is used as an interlining for a sturdier bag.
