Over the weekend I made a sweet little square bag.  It is a to-go bag for my small knitting projects…however, I like it so much that I am not limiting it to that role.  On Saturday I actually threw my wallet, phone, and a spare diaper in it as I headed out the door.

I used scraps and some muslin for the outside of my bag.   The size is around 9x9x6.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I added some hand stitching along one side with the word “stitch.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of my favorite details that I added is this little owl that I stamped on.  He just adds such a touch of whimsy.  Plus, the possibilities of using different stamps on fabric–oh my!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also like how the sides look with the seams intersecting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yes, a good project indeed.  I believe more of these bags are in my future.  Next one will be more rectangular so I can fit some straight knitting needles into it.

At the moment this one holds all my granny squares.  Only 7 more to go for the baby #2’s blanket!
