BAG BUDDIES – Free Easy gifts to sew

I wanted to make something that was ideal for gifting and was a really quick make. I had so many ideas I decided to run them as a 4 part YouTube series of free easy mini-makes.

So what is a Bag Buddy – well it’s a cute little item that helps us organise all the clutter in our bags – just follow the links below to find downloadable pattern pieces and video instructions for 4 fun gift projects.

Make one Bag Buddy or a few, wrap them in tissue and pop them in one of my PRINTABLE gift boxes, perfect for giving for Christmas, Birthdays, Mothers Day, Fathers Day – Any Day! Different designs for different occasions. Print straight from your home printer onto card, cut them out, fold them into shape and personalise them with your own message. There is a different box design with each project.

All you need is a tiny scrap of non-fraying fabric and the odd plastic snap for most of them.

General instructions for all the Bag Buddies

Print them off at 100% size and check that the 1” size check box measures correctly before you cut out your fabric

Print your gift boxes onto printable cardboard to make them more sturdy
