New ZealandFun and functional
A fun and functional project to make. Simple and logical to put together, great use of smallish offcuts of fabric. I added little loops so I can attach my keys and not lose them in the bag. I really like the outcome, it's a cool bag!
AustraliaLove this bag
I recently made one of these as a gift for a friend who loved it. Since then I’ve had several requests from friends who also want one. It was fiddly to make but the instructions were clear and helpful, and it was absolutely worth the effort. I love the shape and style of this bag and I’m sure this pattern will be very well used.

New ZealandDownloading difficult
After purchasing and using my phone I found it a nightmare to download my pattern. I got my daughter to help me only to find out I’ve now lost the instructions and the free bag pattern. Not happy
The Sewing Revival
Hi Robyn, Thanks for taking the time to get back to us. Please remember we are always available on info@sewingrevival.co.nz or via dm on FB or IG to help solve any issues. There is also tutorials on the website (under the Resources section of the main menu) to help with downloading and printing. Once you hit the download button on your laptop or desktop (not your mobile phone), the files are automatically saved to the "Downloads or Documents" folder of your device (even if you forgot to save them manually to a new folder as per the instructions). May I suggest you search your device for the pattern and instruction files - I also suspect you will find the Free Foldaway Bag pattern there too. Kin regards, Janine
New ZealandPattern is easy to follow. My bag looks great!!
