After this project was complete I decided to store small wool balls from my crafting stash inside the pouch.

I have plans to make some Christmas gifts with these wool balls.

Patchwork Stowe Bag

The inspiration for this project was a patchwork reusable bag that I saw online (linked to reference the image source). The style of this bag reminded me of the Stowe bag sewing pattern (I made the Large version of this pattern in this post).

I loved the idea of utilizing scraps of ripstop fabric for this project (that might otherwise be too small to sew). I wanted to sew the Small version of the pattern for this project. I started out by laying out scraps of fabric under the pattern piece.

I serged the scraps of fabric together. I decided to keep the serged seams on the outside of the bag for a fun decorative element. I kept the thread navy for all of the seams (to save time not changing out threads).

I serged around the curves at the top edges of the bag to finish the fabric. The final piece of fabric (pieced together was 17” wide and 18” tall.
