Ditty Bags 2.0 Class - 2025

Join Cheryl Kemp and learn to make ByAnnie's Ditty Bags 2.0
Pretty and practical, these zippered bags with side handles and diagonal borders are quick and easy to make.
The pattern includes complete instructions for bags in three sizes. They make great gifts!
SMALL: This smart bag will carry your most important beauty supplies or other personal items and will fit easily in many purses or bags. 3¾"H x 6½"W x 1½"D
MEDIUM: Not too small and not too big, this bag fits neatly into a larger purse or your favorite tote and will carry and protect a variety of supplies. 4½"H x 8"W x 2½"D
LARGE: For more than the basics, this spacious bag holds bottles, brushes, and more. Use it to organize a diaper bag or use more masculine fabrics to make a great toiletry bag for a guy. 6"H x10"W x 3"D

HOMEWORK:

Make a copy from the pattern for labeling your pieces. (Note: I don’t cut my pattern; I use a copy of the page for cutting out the labels).

Cut all the pieces before the class for your bag. Have the labels clipped to your bag pieces for easy construction.

Sandwich the Body Stabilizer between the Body Main (face up) and Body Lining (face down), aligning all edges, pin or clip to join. You may also use 505 Temporary Adhesive to adhere main body piece.
