When the school year starts, I start wanting to get sewing and making gifts for the holidays. I love to make handmade gifts but it isn't always easy to figure out what to make other people.
I personally have found that I love to find fun free sewing patterns for bags that I can gift to kids and adults alike.
This post contains affiliate links to products I recommend. I do make a portion off any you may purchase. See full disclosure here.
That's why I decided I needed to round up some great DIY purse patterns and bags.
There are so many amazing bag patterns out their and I am sure that one of these will spark your interest and getting you wanting to sew.
Now I will admit, some of these patterns are not free, but they are still really great.
I decided to break this post into 3 lists: bag patterns for kids, bag patterns for women and grandmas, and pouches and wallets.
I hope you'll be able to find something just right for those on your list. Or a bag you can carry all those important things in like your toddlers favorite cars.
