The Squishy Project Bag
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Hi friends! I have a super fun and easy sewing project for you! Today I’m sharing how to make the Squishy Project Bag. It’s great for storing craft projects, knitting, embroidery, school supplies, and anything else you can dream up!
This bag is so easy and definitely beginner friendly. It should only take about an hour and a half or so to put together. So let’s get sewing.
OOPS! There's a portion in the video where I say the bag is 15.5" wide, nope, it's 12.5" wide! Follow the measurements listed below and not what I said. LOL! Sorry!

Materials and Cutting Instructions:
Outside of bag: (Note: You can create a custom outside fabric using scraps as long as you end up with 1 piece of 12.5” x 24.5” when you’re done.)
(2) 6.5” x 12.5” pieces
(1) 12.5” x 12.5” piece
Lining:
(2) 12.5” x 12.5” pieces
Batting or fusible fleece:
(1) 12.5” x 24.5” piece Note: If you’re quilting the outside of the bag like I am, you might want to give yourself about 1” of extra batting on all four sides.
Strap:
(1) 2.5” x 8” piece
Zipper: (If you change the size of your bag from what I’m doing, just make sure your zipper is longer than the bag width and you’ll be all set!)
(1) 14” plastic zipper

Although this is from six years ago ... I just wanted to say that I made this bag today and it came out great! Perfect step-by-step tutorial. I had a little trouble with the zipper ends looking perfect but it's the first time I've installed a zipper so not too shabby. Thanks!!!
You are a natural teacher. What a great, concise, easy to understand and follow tutorial. Thank you so much.
Made this bag and it turned out exactly like it wanted. It’s the perfect size for taking a sock project on the go. Next time I think I’ll add a small pocket to stick my stitch counter or something small. Thanks, Erica for a great video. The instructions along with the pattern were perfect!
Hi Erica, I just today made your squishy bag. It turned out great. Sadly, I don't know how to send photos. I crochet baby hats for our hospital and I will use it to keep all my gear in so I can crochet anywhere and it's all organised and kept clean. Thanks so much. I love it.
January 27 2024 this is the perfect bag that I have been looking for putting my sock kniitting that I am learning. I have looked on so many sites for premade ones and just was not satisfied with either the material or the cost! Appreciate so very much the detail of your tutorial for a beginner and now ready to do a few to get my projects all set up in pretty makes. Thank you. 😊
I stubbled upon your video as I make a very similar bag. It always amazes me how we seamstress go about things so differently and essentially end up with the same products!! Keep on sewing!! 😊
This is one of the most thorough and easy to understand tutorials I've ever watched. You made sewing the zipper uncomplicated. Thank you!
I made this bag today. I'm so happy with how it turned out. It will be perfect for my smaller knitting projects.
Thank you for posting this video.
Your step by step instructions are easy to follow and having the measurements for the materials needed in the description box is so helpful.
Great and simple bag. Love it. I think I'm going to sew a little vinyl pocket on the outside so I can slip a card in with the name of the project on it to avoid having to look inside when I've completely forgotten what I'm making. :)
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I set up my iPad with it on (so I could pause as needed) and went through with you. I made my first project bag for knitting (fits all my shawl materials in perfectly). My friends couldn't believe I actually made it (neither could I)...it turned out that good and was very quick and easy. Thanks again!! =)
Thank you for posting these instructions. I own several squishy project bags that I bought from New Zealand from another UA-camr. They were already made. I absolutely love these kind of bags for my crochet projects. I have several huge boxes of quilting fabrics that belonged to my late Mom. So many possibilities for all kinds of cute bags!
Thanks
Great job.
I love tutorials... even though I've been sewing for 40years or so.
I forget how to process my projects. It makes me feel more confident when mom isn't at the other end of the phone. Someday she won't be at the other end of the phone..... perhaps I'll be the one that family and friends come to to get project help.
I happened upon your video, thanks for explaining everything so well. You have a good way about you, in that you speak to us in a manner that's easy to understand.
Best, Gail
What a great tutorial! I've been watching a lot of knitting podcasters showing their project bags, feeling a bit sorry for myself that I can't afford them. I do have a sewing machine, along with very basic sewing skills (can't follow a pattern, but can sew straight lines!); plus, I have a lot of scrap fabric my mom gave me when she quit sewing. I can hardly wait to sew up one of these bags. You have also taken away the fear of putting in a zipper. My adult daughter has assured me it's incredibly simple, but I didn't believe her, lol. She lives far away or I'd have gotten her to teach me.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise!
PS-I also homeschooled!
I have 2 bags that started a century ago and never finish them because I'm learning to sew and it always looked so complicated!
This is the BEST TUTORIAL I've seen on how to make a bag!
I'll be making your bag very soon,
Thanks!
Thanks so much!
Your tutorial is clear and easy to see. Your hands are not hiding your project. And, I love the bag pattern. It is a joy to listen to your teaching how to do this. (This from an experienced sewist) Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy making the bag :)

After decades of procrastinating due to fear of failure, I made this bag yesterday and it came out beautifully. I chose not to quilt and I think that was a mistake but otherwise it's a good project with GREAT teaching. Thank you!
That's awesome, I'm so glad you went for it!
This is the one I quilted outer and lining together. Added zipper. Done. Fast…then realized I forgot the strap! Doesn’t affect it much, but your way so much better! Great for knitting/crochet projects. So quick to make. Thank you - Again!
Great tutorial. Will be making some of these in different sizes. Thanks for the details you put into your tutorials. Sure does help that you show all steps as you go.

Hi Erica, I'm Julie from Florida and I just finished making the squishy bag and I had so much fun!! the only difference I put tabs on my zipper it was a little challenging on one side of the zipper, but it worked out beautifully and I made the bottom boxed corner a little bit bigger. I love it now onto the next one. Thank you so much for taking the time to do the tutorials. If I can request maybe not so many advertisements ...thank you again from beautiful Florida..
Thank you for the cute project bag! I just made it out of Tula Pink fabric and it’s totally adorable! I purchased your crochet pumpkins pattern and have already started making them for next Autumn, they reside in my new bag as I work on them.
My first ever attempt at a project bag and what a success😄. Your instructions were so clear, what a great tutorial. Thanks to you l now have a cute, project bag👜with more to come...👍
Yay! So glad the tutorial worked for you! :)
Thank you for a great tutorial. I love the way you put the zipper in the bag!
I made a project bag using your tutorial! I plan to make a couple more. Thank you for taking time to present this on UA-cam.
I love your videos and your positive attitude! You are very sweet and soft spoken. I am self-taught and have watched tons of videos over the past few years. Love your sewing room too! 😍
Thank you so much! :)
Erica Arndt
You do precious videos
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial! I've made two different size project bags now and they're my favorite ones!
As a complete novice sewer, I managed to produce a reasonable effort first time and a pretty good one second time (even if I say so myself!!). The instructions on the video are excellent - very clear and state exactly what you need to do and what the pieces should all look like. I'll post my squishy bag pictures - it's for my sister for Christmas so I hope she likes it. 😄
Yay! So glad you liked the tutorial! :)
LOVE THIS BAG! Made one out of scrap fabric. Added a snap tab on the inside for my yarn to go through while working my project!
Wish I knew how to add a picture!
Thank you for making the video!
Will be making this bag for sure! I too am a quilter and knitter. Super cute! Thank you for the great tutorial.
Thank you, I made my first bag and am very pleased with the result from following your tutorial. I love my squishy bag.
Love this bag! Thanks so much for sharing! I'm planning on making several, one for my sister who knits, and a couple for myself. I'm a quilter and I'd use them for keeping my English paper piecing projects and another for holding my quilt scraps!
Oh that's a great idea!
Thank you for this great tutorial 😊 I am a beginner and I just finished my first bag
Thanks Erica. I made one with your very clear step-by-step directions.
This bag is cute! I like the idea of folding down the top for knitting. Thanks for sharing!
I made my first Squishy bag yesterday. Great instructions! I am really pleased with the bag I made. Will be making the drawstring bag next.
Thanks..... can't wait to get started. Just waiting on my fusible fleece to get here in the mail!
Dear Erica, thank you very much for this toturial. Your job is great!
The funny thing about this is...a friend showed me her project bag and I fell in love with it. Didn’t have the heart to say I would love to make it and if she would share her pattern...so thought I would see if UA-cam had something similar and...bingo! Thank you for sharing this. Easy, clear and concise instructions and I do believe there might be a few of these bags for my future projects or for Christmas gifts coming up🙋🏻
Yay!! So glad you found it and now you can make your own :)
You made this one so easy!!! Didn't take me too long at all and it looks great. I will be makinbg lots of these. Thank you for all you quilting tutorials.
When I put a little handle on my bags I like to have them on the end where the zipper tab is when it is closed - so when I am carrying it I don't take the chance that my zipper is not closed all the way and have some small item fall out. When it's on the that end it is at the upper end near the zipper pull when I am carrying it. Does that make sense?
Made one and a half .. I will finish and make many more ...live them!! So easy you are amazing thanks so much !
Going through your videos for something for my knitting and this is it. Thank you, your videos are awesome!
I have discovered small bags and I love this one!! Thank you.
Koool! I just found these on line……it looks easy…….a quick project for a break from quilting!
Very well made tutorial Erica! Thank you so much. I have a lovely sheepy print fabric that would look great in this project. Can't wait to get started.
This will be a great add onto the girls Christmas present. Thanks for doing sure a great job on your tutorials !
I make pouches every day, just enjoy it so much fun and i can stash everything in them. I have made as small as a four inches and boxed.
Love your squishy bag.
This was a great tutorial. Very well explained and clear instructions. Darling bag!! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome job instructing on how to make this cute bag. Thanks for sharing!
Love your tutorials! Maybe start knitting tutorials.... I work with a gal who was knitting christmas stockings and they were so adorable! Im making this bag for sure! Thank you! pam
I'm just starting to learn to knit, so maybe once I figure it out LOL! I can do basic knit and purl. I just started the Bendy Arrow Shawl from Ravelry and learned about 5 new stitches by row 14 LOL! Wish me luck I might be in over my head :)
Just finished the bag. Love It! Thank you for the tutorial. it was perfect.
Wonderful project! I really love and appreciate the detailed tutorial.
thanks for another great tutorial! I love your sewing projects! keep them coming! I don't have kids, but I love your channel when you do projects everyone can use! thanks!
Good tutorial, gives me ideas for presents for friends and also for our charity sales table.
I lover your beginner easy projects, it has made me want to start sewing more, I love sewing but it always seemed so hard to get started, these have been very encouraging. Thanks so much! 😁
No time like the present to start something new and fun!! :) And they're super easy too!
Just discovered your channel! I'm a knitter, returning to sewing!
I adore the bag and can't wait to make it, so I can have a squishy bag for my knitting, too. Trouble is, I can only knit scarves, and I'm jealous that you are knitting socks! Would you consider a tutorial on the socks? My fear is not knowing how to correct mistakes and giving up. There have to be more newbies like me that just need a push. Thanks!
I'll see what I can do for an easy sock tutorial. There are several out there too if you check KnitPicks UA-cam channel she has a few :) They're not too hard, just the heel can be finicky, but if I can do it so can you!!
Thank you so much - very kind of you to offer a PDF - a great help to me!!! Well actually the video is better but PDF is awesome too! Thanks so much!
I recently made 6 of these bags!! Christmas presents! Thank you so much for this tutorial!!
I love ❤️ this bag. I will be waiting for the PDF . Thank you for your time!
just made one for my grandmother for her knitting projects, I hope she will love it :) great tutorial!
Thanks. I need this for mini bags for Christmas!
I made the bag and I love it. Thanks again.
Thank you for this awesome tutorial it was very easy to follow! I love my project bag!!🤗
😍Love this bag, thank you Erica! I am going to make some, and it's a different method than I have already used but nice and easy. ❤️
Erica, you did a lovely job and I’d like to get your pattern . Thank you so much . Love Diane 😊
Thank you so much for your instructions for your Squishy bag project!
Great tutorial for a great bag by a great teacher! Thank you very much! 😎
fantastic.. I may try one.. you are a great teacher. Thank you so very much
love your tutorials you have a nice clear voice and directions i love this pattern a great bag
Thank you! I'm going to try this, soon as I can track down all the supplies. Thank you for a nice clear tutorial. I was wanting something that a non-sewer like me could follow without being completely baffled. This should work well for my cross stitch as well as my knitting. (not at the same time. lol) I love the fact you can fold it back and keep it open as well. Very handy!
Yes, these bags are perfect for both of those crafts!
Just made one today! Thanks for the great tutorial. Love my new knitting project bag!
Omg!!! I just found your site a couple of weeks ago. I was learning to make a rag quilt. Which your video on that project was wonderful by the way. You're amazing at instructing. Please keep them coming. I live to learn new ideals on projects. You should do some knitting/crochet tutorials. I ha e always wanted to learn but I am left handed and its I find it very difficult to start. Thank you for all you do 😊
Thanks so much :)
I love the stuff you make. You keep me busy...
Yet another amazing tutorial! So clear and concise. Trying this one today!
You're such a great teacher, I would love if you could do a video series on beginner socks, knit for us. I'm making that bag
Thanks, I'll see what I can do, just started learning how to do them myself!
Very cute. Can't wait to make one for my friend that knits
I crochet and knit and would call it a WIP bag. Im definitely going to make some as i have loads of WIPs and have been using sponge bags so far..my first go at quilting will be for my crochet work 😁😁
Your wonder clips should be placed with the clear side on the bottom side. This is because the clear side is flat and the color side is not. Great job demoing the project.
Thanks for a great tutorial. (Why do people give thumbs down? Baffles me). Keep up the great work.
Thank you for good adwice💜💜 and easy explanations making those bags 🤗🇧🇻
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I sing barbershop and made a bag for my performance shoes following you step by step (with a little improvisation)
After I saw this video the first time, I made about 15 of these. Thinking I may need to make 15 more lol I love this and I do sometime put extra batting for more squishiness 💗
Wonderful! So glad you like it!!
Love the video! SuperFantastic great instructions! Teach me to knit sock! I'm having trouble!
I just made this squishy bag, it turned out adorably, thank you for the video!!
This is a really good tutorial. Your instructions were easy to follow and everything was easy to see. Thanks so much! Going to do a couple of these for Christmas. :)
Hi Erica, Do you have any tutorials on a similar bag with a draw string closure and inside pockets? Love your podcasts! Thanks, you make this look easy and doable for a beginner.
That's next on my "To film" list :)
Exactly what I need for knitting projects!
Great tutorial. Can't wait to make mine. Thank you!!!
I am totally luving your way of sewing
I love this bag, I crochet an it works wonderful, Thank you so much.
Thank you for sharing ... I am looking forward to making my first project bag!
Love the squish bag, I am one of then people that has a fear of sewing and zippers. But I want one of these gotta try I guess.
Absolutely brilliant tutorial.
Thank you so much for this project! I made it and put in my very first zipper. I had a few issues with the batting so reverted to fusible fleece but I found out what the problem was and then was able to proceed. At the age of 65, I am a beginning sewer and I have to say, zippers daunted me but your instructions were so clear I was able to proceed no problems. #squishybagproject
I hope to make this ina few days thanks for showing me how.
Great tutorial. I had fun making this bag. Thanks.
Thank you this a grate project and easy when following your instructions
I have just attempted my first bag....now this one with a zipper is next.....wish me luck, thanks for a super tutorial!,,,
