Crossbody + Shoulder
Harvest Moon Tote
Unique seasonal style, but with a timeless silhouette perfect for any fabric combination. The project gives you a chance to fussy cut and pattern match, outline motifs with a quilting stitch, add pleated side grommets, and more.
Sporty Waist or Crossbody Mini Pack
The go-everywhere design of this zipper pouch features curved corners, straight line quilting, a diagonal zipper, and a narrow wraparound sidewall. An adjustable strap makes it flexible to wear around the waist or over the shoulder.
The Flower Power Tote
Our basic tote design is quite easy and can be made with any machine; the embroidery accents kick it up a notch. We feature a full design on the front pocket, using the companion single element inside. The designs are a FREE download.
Puffer Sling Bag
You’ve all seen puffer jackets. The look has now shown up on high-end bags! S4H leads the pack, bringing you a DIY version. We combine ripstop nylon and high loft batting, creating the texture with straight line quilting + ruler work.
Ragged Edge Tote in Two Sizes
Ragging – letting your seam allowances show and fray on the outside – is traditionally found on blankets, pillows + quilts. We stepped outside that box to use the technique on a pair of trendy canvas + flannel totes.
Weekender Carryall Duffle
The boxy shape of a classic duffle provides plenty of “real estate” for a dramatic fabric choice as well as for professional finishes; like piping, decorative layering, and unique zipper choices. We check all the boxes with this bold bag.
Multi Pocket Quilted Barrel Bag
For this stand-out-from-the-crowd barrel bag, try a lightweight canvas in a bold, colorful print. Clip on the adjustable strap and shorten to wear over the shoulder – extend to wear crossbody. Or, unclip and use the double handles.

Fabric shopping bags are a green alternative to plastic – and so much prettier! We created a set of two totes in a handy shoulder sling style. They fold down into a matching wrap-and-tie carrying case. Use your favorite quilting cottons.
Sleek Linen Tote with Bold Webbing Accents
A solid color lets the lines and details of a bag’s design shine, like this tote’s pleats, curving sidewall, front flap, and twin needle stitching. The pleated pockets expand to drop in your items, but when empty, pop back flat.
Faux Suede Foldover Tote
We love the vintage vibe of this great fold-over, dual carry tote. Thicker fabric + topstitching detail work together to provide a perfect blend of softness and stability, and to show off the power and precision of Janome machines.

These box totes are sewn up in 100% linen so they have a wonderfully soft feel. Each bag features three coordinating solid colors set against one another in big, bold blocks both inside and out.
Quilted Yo-Yo Tote
The front of a bag is a bit like a blank slate. We started with a gorgeous metallic linen, then added a quilted windowpane grid, and finally, arranged twelve tone-on-tone yo-yos as the perfect dimensional accent.
Slim Messenger Bag
Tall and slim, this handsome messenger bag is a casual, fun style that’s perfect for everyday and anywhere you need to go. It works well for either guys or gals. An exclusive PDF pattern bundle in our Etsy shop.
Asymmetrical Crossbody Bag
Asymmetrical means having two sides or halves that are not the same. Throwing in an interesting angle or unique texture can take your project to the next level. This design started with our idea for the cool fold-over closure.
Air Mail Shoulder Sling Satchel
A unique satchel with the feel of a mail carrier’s bag. This taller and thinner style can be carried with the double looping handles or worn crossbody with a detachable shoulder strap. Don’t forget the cool fussy cutting!

A purchased skinny belt becomes the strap on this unique shoulder bag, and a large, monochromatic embroidered medallion adorns the front pocket as well as the lining pocket, creating a secret pop of pretty on the inside.
Ribbon Wrapped Bucket Bag
Our tall drawcord duffle is the perfect project to showcase a merry-go-round of colorful ribbons against a solid canvas. A ring of metal grommets allows the top of the bag to cinch closed with its own matching drawcord and slider.
Fast and Easy Gym Tote
It snaps closed and opens wide to carry a pair of shoes, a change of clothes, and all the extras you need to get back to your workout routine. The lining is water-resistant ripstop nylon so you can toss in damp items.
WordPlay Messenger Bag
Got something to say? Make a messenger bag with a real message! We used iron-on letters to create our FACT-FICTION phrase. Button flap pockets and a cool closure are just the start of this hardworking, dramatic style.
