Description
Three zippered bags in graduated sizes keep small things sorted, from cosmetics and chargers to sewing notions and travel bottles. Each bag has side handles that make it easier to open, close, and carry, and diagonal pieced borders that frame the fabric. The set finishes in three sizes: small at 3¾ by 6½ by 1½ inches, medium at 4½ by 8 by 2½ inches, and large at 6 by 10 by 3 inches.
What the Pattern Includes
This listing is for the printed paper pattern only, with full instructions for all three sizes. Fabric, stabilizer, zipper, and the optional ribbon are not included.
A coupon for the $5 Add-On Video is included at no extra charge, covering the more detailed steps alongside the printed instructions.

Perfect For
- Sewists who want a quick, beginner-friendly project that makes three useful bags

- A handmade gift set, since the three sizes nest together
Why You'll Love This Pattern
The three sizes cover most small-storage needs. The small bag fits in a purse for beauty supplies or earbuds, the medium holds a fuller kit of tools or toiletries, and the large carries bottles, brushes, or a tangle of cords. Made as a set, they keep a bag or drawer sorted by category instead of loose.
Side handles set Ditty Bags apart from a plain zippered pouch. They give a place to grip while the zipper opens and a way to pull a single bag out of a crowded tote. Soft and Stable gives each bag a soft structure that holds its shape, and the diagonal borders add a pieced detail without adding difficulty, which keeps the set approachable for a newer sewist.
