Complete Tutorial for the Basic Boxy Bag, ENHANCED!

The Boxy Bag was my FIRST bag to make, and still one of my favorites! It is simple, but can also be adapted into a bag with more interesting and useful additions.

In this tutorial I’ll walk you through exactly how I make my two toned, fully lined with mesh pocket boxy bag. Just starting out? Skip the optional steps. Ready to kick it up a notch? Include those mesh pockets and fusible fleece!
Happy Sewing!
