Sweetheart Trio Bag Pattern – Minki Kim | SI-BP21

Three sweet little bags, one very tempting sewing project! 💕

If you love making useful things from beautiful scraps, Sweetheart Trio by Minki Kim is going to be right up your sewing alley. This charming pattern gives you instructions and templates to make three different-sized bags, all using the same clever sewing method — so once you've got the hang of one, you'll be flying through the next!

The bags have a lovely structured shape with curved corners, roomy interiors and plenty of opportunity to play with your favourite fabrics. And there's a particularly good excuse to raid the scrap basket here, with the pattern calling for 36 assorted-colour scraps — roughly the equivalent of one Charm Pack. Perfect for all those little pieces you've been saving because they were simply too pretty to throw away!

Three Sizes to Make

• Small Pouch: 9½" W x 5" H x 3½" D
• Medium Bag: 10" W x 7½" H x 3½" D
• Large Bag: 10" W x 11" H x 3½" D

The pattern includes full instructions, colour step-by-step photographs and pouch templates, making it much easier to follow along as you work. Minki also has a video tutorial available to accompany the pattern.
