I found these at Tuesday Morning for $4 each.
They have a clear zipper pocket for tools and the main zipper pocket holds a pretty good-sized Q-snap. This one is about 8" x 9".
The large pocket has a waterproof lining, offering more protection for projects on the go.
Here's a little school supply bag I bought at Wal-Mart for $1. This one also has an outside zipper pocket for tools, and the main zipper pocket will hold an ornament-sized or slightly larger Q-snap. I popped this one in my bag for a trip to Texas and it was very convenient.
I love to use cosmetic bags for stitching projects. This one came from Target, but I've had it for so long I can't remember how much it cost. I do know that it was less than $10.
It holds a disassembled 6" Q-snap and all the necessary tools.
There are lots of beautiful project bags out there and many of them are pretty pricey. If you need a bag, but you're on a budget, keep your eyes open and think outside of the box (bag?) when you're out shopping. It's not hard to find cool, affordable project bags!
Honeybee, thanks for the ideas. I too have a passion for bags...all kinds and yes have way to many!
ReplyDeleteThose swimsuit sack bags look super. Will have to look into them! It is fun to browse a variety of shops looking for items that can be re-purposed for stitching accessories. Enjoy your week, Honeybee!
ReplyDeleteGreat bags. Never heard of swimsuit bags before. I usually use a couple of plastic bags (usually the shopping kind). I will check out Tuesday Morning. I also have a large collection of bags. My large one now also have become portable files - one for each of my lineage societies, one for current genealogical research, etc
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Great ideas! I like not having to spend a lot of money for a project bag.
