This bag is a great way to practice your quilting skills and maybe even learn something new! I’ll be showing you how to do a simple patchwork panel with binding for the front pocket.
You’ll also learn how to add a zipper to your project. I know zippers can seem daunting, but trust me it’s so easy you’ll be glad you gave it a go!
We’ll also be adding a fun inside pocket that you can customize to fit your needs. I like to put my knitting needles, extra scissors and stitch markers in here!
I’ve also added these cute accent handle straps so you can carry your mini tote bag around with you wherever you go!

Is there a pattern that can be downloaded for this bag? The PDF shows the cutting instructions but I do better with the print instructions since I can’t always come back to a video. Thank you.
Hi Patty,
I’m sorry this one just has cutting instructions and then a video tutorial. I didn’t do written instructions for this project.
). Wow, I just found this cute bag. I made a bag based on your pink mini charm bag tutorial; it was my first bag and turned out pretty nice. (For the first time LOL). It’s for my granddaughter. Now I think I will attempt this one because it has a few different details and it would give me practice. You have a gift for teaching while you demonstrate and keep the tutorial clear. Your fabrics also inspire me. I’m wondering if I us enough mini charm packs of “Bee Joyful” by Deb Strain, would I use 6 rows(?). If not, I’ll have to buy a new charm pack.
Hi Maria, I’m sorry I’m not sure I understand your question. Are you planning to use a mini-charm for the whole bag or just the front pocket like I did? If it’s for the front pocket I would probably do three rows of mini-charms.
Sorry I wrote email wrong- I will correct it below. Pls disregard the one that says “loma”
