Product Description
Have you ever popped to the shop for a few groceries, and forgotten to take a carrier bag? Well, now that we have to pay for those bags, why not be eco-friendly, and re-use them. Keep a couple handy, in a pretty little pouch you can clip to your handbag, so you're never without a bag!
This is a photo tutorial style of pattern, I have written instructions, with photographs for every round, to make it as clear as possible for the best results. I am new to pattern designing, so if you spot any mistakes, or have any suggestions or comments, feedback would be gratefully received!
The flower is not of my own design, so only a link to the flower pattern is included. But go crazy and pick your own favourite flower pattern to adorn your pouch.
You can find me on Facebook, I would love to see your finished pouches!
