Bucket bags are this year's designer favourite! If you don't want to pay upwards of several hundred dollars for one, this pattern will let you make one that is uniquely yours - and it's REVERSIBLE to boot! That's right - you'll automatically get two looks in one!
Remarkably easy to sew, bucket bags are perfect for those who don't like curves: everything has straight lines here. And if you've never before attempted a zippered pocket or grommets or snap fasteners, here is a great project to try them all at once. Or not - it's totally up to you. This design has several options for you to choose from to make a bucket bag that can be as basic or as BODACIOUS as you wish!

A budding seamstress in my youth, I abandoned the hobby for almost three decades. Then I discovered that people sewed "stuff" besides clothes and quilts. What an eye-opener! The discovery led to a personal sewing journey... one that has seen me progress from student to designer. Check in with me every Saturday morning to see what new discoveries I've made and soak up inspiration from freebies that you won't find here. (P.S. Looking for the best deal? My patterns are ALWAYS sale priced directly from my blog... some are even free!) Check it out at esheepdesigns.blogspot.com
