Project Pouch By Kandou Patterns - Your Perfect Quarantine Bag!

I cannot explain how excited I was when Caroline gave me permission to film this tutorial! It can be difficult to get excited about travel bags and backpacks right now, and after sulking about my depleted sewjo, I found the perfect bag for this quarantine. The project pouch can hold your hand craft items, snacks, personal items, anything you need to park it somewhere comfy and just veg.

Happy Sewing!

My 7 year old girlie just popped over my shoulder and said "oh mummy that lady is pretty, oooh mummy are you going to make me one of those bags, I'd so love one". Guees I'm going to be making two of these then. Thanks Jess, great tutorial yet again 😍

[alwayslearning]

Excellent instructions. Appreciate you including the stitch length at each step. Best bag I’ve made to date. Thank you.

[cmilam]

You speak my language. I have viewed many sewing tutorials. You are so organized, thorough and personable, no slang and no ah, yeah or ok guys. To be personable and knowledgeable is rare. Thank-you, going to subscribe right now!

Thank you. I’m a new sewer. My measurements weren’t perfect but this was forgiving enough that it didn’t matter. I am so happy with my bag. I used the pattern and your tutorial together to help me understand some things. I ordered to fabric and I can’t wait for it to get there to make another one

Anyone questioning getting the 1x6 ruler- I wasnt sure I would use a 1x6. Oh my gosh so happy I purchased. Use it all the time!!

I love making this bag! I have started making my drawstring channel a little bigger by like 1/2 inch and i wait to put the seem in so that it makes a ruffle after the whole thing is put together. That way if I have fudged a little on the seem allowance my cord channel doesn't end up too tight. Great tutorial! Its like sewing with a friend.

[carydelano]

Thank you! Evendough the bag and the sewing are extraordinary... Thanks for including the end! Makes me feel I am not the only with those days!!! May Jehovah bless you!

[tbyrd]

I just made this and it is so stinking cute! I love this!! And it was my first bag ever --- thank you for a great tutorial!

[Lyingeyes]

I love these bags, I put insulated inside instead of interfacing and they make great lunch bags :) My grand kids love them. Thanks Jess for a great tutorial

[karenmcinnes]

Another great tutorial, thanks Jess. Made the small one to go with the large Bucket bag. Made the drawstring casing a bit wider so I would ruffle.

[maryrhudy]

I LOVE IT!!! I have totally lost my mind, but then I've had a 56 year head start. And it has no fat or carbs!!!

[suestutzle]

This is indeed a great bag. I made two of these for my friend's gran daughters when they went overseas once. I filled them with kids craft things to keep them busy on the plane and help keep everything all together. They were a great success. Now they use them to keep their dolls clothes in.

[annamorriscreates]

You give the BEST instructions! I love all of the easy to understand and instructions and the wonderful tips!

[barbaracarroll]

You bring me so much joy! One of the best things is how genuine you are, and how fearless about sharing imperfections in your work! SUCH AN INSPIRATION!

[stephanniemetz]

Sew fun! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents with us!

[belovedsgirl]

Love this! Thank you for the tutorial. Praying you stay safe, sane and healthy during this quarantine time.

[RosieOutdoors]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I love watching a video to go along side a written pattern and this was just perfect - covered everything, and you’re right the bag is so stinkin cute.

[kevinbarrett]

[porchsitandknit]
