The Opzet Project Bag is the only project bag you’ll need because it comes in 3 sizes! The small size is perfect for socks or other small projects and the large size is sized to fit an entire sweater. The medium is, well, for those in between projects. And it’s not just knitting projects either. The small is great for toiletries or small doo-dads that you need to hold together. The Opzet Project Bag sewing pattern is great to use up fat quarters or scraps the main print fits on a single fat quarter for all sizes! Pair that amazing print with a coordinating accent fabric and you’ll have yourself a personalized project bag. The interior of each bag has multiple pockets that hold your stitch markers or darning needles to weave in all your ends.
The Opzet Bags were inspired by my need for a really cute and practical knitting project bag to carry to my knitting meeting every other weekend. I didn’t want to hassle with zippers (that could potentially snag the yarn) and I needed a few inner pockets that other drawstring project bags just didn’t have. The Opzet Project Bag sewing pattern comes in 3 sizes to fit your needs.
Small: 6x4x6.5 (15.2×10.2×16.5cm) Medium: 10x5x10.5 (25.4×12.7×26.7cm) Large: 14x6x12.5 (35.6×15.2×31.8cm)
