Sew a stylish and practical accessory with the Bucket Bag PDF sewing pattern! Bucket bags are having a moment—and now you can sew your very own! With a classic drawstring fastening (hello, stopper detail!), a flat base, full lining, and a handy inside pocket, this bag is as practical as she is cute. The adjustable straps let you wear it your way, crossbody for busy days, or over one shoulder for an effortlessly stylish look. Do not underestimate this little bag, she is deceptively roomy. Thanks to the flat base and tall shape, you can easily fit all your essentials, including a paperback/kindle and a water bottle, which we personally can’t go anywhere without! Make your Bucket Bag in anything from cotton canvas, to cotton twill, or denim. Our favourite combination is canvas interfaced with Decovil to get that perfect structured look without making your machine work overtime with too many thick layers. For the lining, a sturdy quilting cotton from your stash is ideal. Keep it classic with a solid colour that goes with everything, or have some fun with a bold print—perfect for picnics, holidays, and turning heads wherever you go. And if you’re in the gifting mood, the Bucket Bag makes a seriously adorable handmade present!
