 | 12 Pocket Screen Bags
This 12 Pocket Screen Bag is so strong it can be used in many, many ways. Because it has pockets inside and out, it can be used as a purse, lunch bag, book bag, sports bag, groceries, diaper bag and or just to "carry all your stuff" bag.
It also makes a great beach bag because the sand simply falls out of the bottom of the bag keeping the sand from getting in your car.
Screen bags make great gifts for all ages, even teenagers from their favorite "themed" fabric. You'll want to make lots of these bags for you and your friends from a variety of fabrics such as Halloween, Christmas, patriotic or whatever happens to be your favorite fabric of the moment happens to be.
Join Darlene to make this fabulous bag that is easy enough for all levels of sewers.
