Learn how to sew this perfect sized project bag!

Here's what you need:
-2 outer panels 13" x 13". I used strips 1" to 3" tall scraps to create the patchwork strips.
-2 inner panels 13" x 13". I used solid fabric for these.
-2 channels for the drawstrings - 13"w x 2 1/4"h but you can vary the height.
-2 straps 12"h (1" wide webbing but you can vary it).
-about 28" of cotton cording
-optional tag
