Project Bags

I have a weakness for project bags, and have oodles, but only a couple of them are bags actually intended for stitching projects. All the rest of mine are re-purposed from other uses. My latest discovery is swimsuit bags and they are *perfect* project bags!

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!
