Bag Making Patterns

Designer Sally Ablett has created this charming "Hope Bag" that's available as a pattern. It is generously proportioned at 40cm wide x 40cm high x 17cm deep. It has two side pockets and a large internal pocket.

The bag can be made from just 6 Fat quarters plus 1m of coordinate for the bag lining and base (Sally used the Darla Sweet pack for the bag illustrated).

But the best thing about the Hope Bag is that all the money raised from sale of the pattern will go to the Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff (www.velindrefundraising.com). So if you would like to make a practical and stylish bag and raise money for a good cause. Hope is the answer!
