ByAnnie Pattern Piecekeeper
Store and carry all your project pieces or supplies in this handy zippered bag with attached handle. Fabric quilted to Soft and Stable makes a sturdy base and the mesh front affords great visibility of contents plus a bit of added stretchiness.
Use one 13” x 18" rectangle of Soft and Stable and three fat quarters in coordinating prints/colors plus a bit of mesh, interfacing, and a zipper to make this handy bag.
The finished bag measures 11"H x 16"W.
The Piecekeeper pattern is a perfect way to learn many of the basic techniques used to make ByAnnie patterns.
As you make this useful bag, you will learn how to:
- Quilt fabric with Soft and Stable
- Use our Lightweight Mesh Fabric and make zippered pockets with mesh.
- Prepare simple handles using interfacing
- Bind raw edges on flat projects and go around curves (including tips for going around corners, joining ends, and finishing binding)
To help you master those skills, we have not only made the pattern available to you free*, but we have also filmed an Add-On Video for this project to give you a real classroom experience.
