Bag patterns Fabric
Spoonflower Fabric of the Week Contest: April 04, 2012
We asked voters to choose their favorite one-yard cut & sew patterns for bags. The winner is a terrific, reversible bag by Lucy Baribeau (Fantazya), a designer from Quebec. The rest of the top ten are fun as well, and all are now available for sale. If you decide to make one, keep in mind that the linen-cotton canvas or heavy cotton twill are probably your best bets for sturdy bag fabric.
