Little Bag for Baby Yoda

 

I made this little bag, about 8x5 or something, for Eugenie, based on the Tiny Bag Pattern from Sew Can She.  There are two exterior pockets and an easy pocket inside. You could add an interior zip pocket if you wanted and know how to do that. (The pattern doesn't include those directions.)

I have some issues with the pattern; in the official version there is only one outside pocket but I thought that would look dumb so I made two. 

The pattern also calls for fusible fleece interfacing, which for me broke my needle when I tried to box the corners, so in the future when I make this little bag (and I will be making more) I'm going to use Pellon Shapeflex only. And I might use a different method to box the corners than the one given in the pattern.

I might also make the handles a little longer or place them a little differently on the body of the bag. 

But overall this was a fun quick sew that came together nicely. I enjoyed going through my fat quarters for the fabric combo and I'm happy with how it came out. I would use a fat quarter for each element of the bag except the binding and straps just to make sure there is enough.
