By Saremy for SewSewLive:

The Wallaby is an open bag design that is easy to use and acts as a craft bucket.
There is one exterior and one interior pocket. The webbing finish also acts as a handle. Roomy for medium sized projects. And it's reversible!

  • roomy, wide-mouth bag
  • two pockets
  • reversible


Sewing the Wallaby is straight-forward. Binding and a nifty way to finish the top edge will enhance your sewing skill set.
The included How-To Video walks you through all the steps in an encouraging and confidence building way.
The written instructions have large step-by-step photos with tips along the way.
