2nd Tuesday Bag Ladies Group with Louise and Mary 2026 - Guest -Somerset Bag

Join us the second Tuesday evening of August and September to make the Somerset bag. You can register for one session, or register for both.
For the Somerset bag, a pattern purchase is required and instructions for variations will be provided. The bag can be made in a large or small size.
Project Description
Create your own fabulously roomy and spacious tote bag, with a fabulous Japanese-inspired drawstring closure. This pattern comes in two sizes. Small size works great as an everyday tote bag, large size makes a perfect shopping bag. We think these would make the ideal project bags too. Yarn crafters love the drawstring top for allowing yarn to unwind neatly while knitting or crocheting.
Features of the Somerset Tote:
- Japanese inspired drawstring closure
- pleated slip pocket on the inside of the bag
- two sizes to fit your needs
- additional fabric handles instructions
Skill level: Beginner
Sizing info:
SMALL – 11'' tall x 11'' wide on bottom x 6'' deep
