I've used the one in my purse for over a year and it hasn't worn through. So sorry. I think they're great fun and endless possibilities of fabric styles. They were our most popular item at our auction last year and went for $$.

There is a tut with pics and instructions right here on our board..

and there are tons and tons of other tutorials if you google "snap bag tutorial"...even a bunch of you tube videos..
I am going to put this on my to-do list!

Thank you Michelle and all others who helped with showing the visuals I love this tutorial!!!

Yes there is a pattern for these. It's a shame that someone spent time to figure out a way to do something, drew up the pattern, spent money to publish the pattern and then someone just posts it for everyone to COPY without even crediting the designer.

In that case the side that curves inward would face the outside of the bag. Hope that helps

These are fun to make.

I was talking to another member about these today and thought maybe someone would like to read this, it has been a while since it was up on the first page of the links.

I've gotten some free from Harbor Freight. Look in your newspaper...they have coupons for "free" with purchase or sometimes....just plain "free". We've gotten scissors, flashlights, tape measurers, etc. Free is always good and the Harbor Freight is located in the same shopping center as our JoAnn Fabric store! Win-Win! I've got 2 of those "free" tape measurers ready to make one of those cute little bags! I have to mail most of our Christmas presents out of state..........I usually get something small for the teenagers and then put in money or gift cards. Hmmmmmmm.......maybe this year, I'll make up these bags as the "small" present! Thanks for posting!
