Ditty Bags 2.0 is an update of our popular Ditty Bags pattern which was originally released in 2012.
In addition to greatly improving the illustrations, we updated the instructions to make assembly easier and included instructions for working with directional fabrics.
We put handles on both ends and changed the border to a diagonal border, adding the option of embellishing the border with decorative ribbon.
We slightly tweaked some of the measurements and improved the process of attaching the Bag Sides to make a bag that ends up nice and square and stands up easily.
