My favorite bags would be the mesh one but I’ve made several bags with the clear vinyl in the front. I have so much fabric and I bought 2 yds of vinyl at JoAnn’s that I’ve got to make the bags and not spend any money on bags to buy.
Bags bags bags! I have so many bags. Too many! Mostly canvas totes. And several that I have made from quilt scraps. So fun! I wish you well with all you are going through right now. I went through it a few years ago. Not easy!
I love the large mesh bags from Fat Quarter Shop. I use them for quilting projects, cross stitch, and EPP. They are fantastic and hold a lot.
I love the FQS mesh bags they hold so much and you can stitch designs on them to match your projects by season!
Love all bags but I have to try to not get too many so I can keep track of what I put in to go to class, sew by the chair, sew in the car, ect.
Bags are fun fatquarter projects. I make a drawstring bags for my knitting projects, tote bags for my quilting projects and someday I will learn zippers so I can make project bags for my cross stitch projects. Fortunately. FQS sells really cool bags for cross stitchezs.
Hi Pat!
I don’t know what kind of bags I like the most. I haven’t had the chance to really use them. But I do like bags for carrying things for work or when I’m out shopping.
I so understand what your saying about your mom. I just lost both my parents and I have my aunt(who has cancer) living with me now. It’s a lot of work, but I do enjoy helping her however I can.

My favorite bags are the brown paper shopping bags my local quilt shop puts quilt for pickup after having been longarmed. Sometimes I am surprised because I have been waiting months to pick up my brown bag. The brown bag represents entering the last lap for my quilt. I do my own binding. The brown bag represents quilt vision reality, great sense of satisfaction and ignites a desire to do another. The magic of the brown paper shopping bags
My favorite bags are reusable bags that have the cute pictures on them. They are great to carry quilts in.
I love bags that I see what is inside it.
I’m a bagaholic!! (Is that even a word? LOL) I love so many bags of all kinds! But the mesh bags are the absolute best!!
Best wishes and caring thoughts for you and your mom and family. It’s tough, so remember to take care of yourself first, please!
My favorite bags are FQS mesh bags and the coated mesh bags you can store your quilting projects in. Praying that soon your Mom will be settled in and your life will be back to your normal routine.
Like you, Pat, my favorite bags are the mesh bags from Fat Quarter Shop. I have current projects and immediate future projects in them. Prayers to you and your mom. I hope everything goes smoothly.
Prayers for you Mom and you. I hope things get worked out for you and your Mom. Fiber can be tough my bestie son has it. What a lovely giveaway from fat quarter shop. Please enter me into the drawing.
Hey Pat. Praying for and your Mom. Career military here so I knoww about stress with a move cross country. Love you designs and your instruction. Your commmunity is so encouraging. Thank you for all you do. Looking forward to the jolly bar sampler. Lisa
I love mesh bags. They come in all sizes for your projects and really help keep me organized. I use them for finished blocks, sewing, cross-stitch and embroidery projects. They are simply the best!
My favorite bag was given to me by my thoughtful daughter. It is monogramed, large, has sturdy handles and is used for so many projects. While it is super useful, it is the gift that shows she knows I am always working on several projects and making it easier to keep us with everything.
How can you choose just one? I have one I picked on vacation that is my go to beach bag. Sturdy neutral stripes with a bonus zipper bag inside. I have wonderful purple floral bag and a turquoise bag for my everyday uses. Good for traveling but also for everyday needs. And of course zipper bags…..you can never just have one. Great for project storage.
My favorite bags are project bags. I’m obsessed and can’t get enough of them.
My favorite bags are ones I made with Annie Unrein’s patterns. Clam Ups are a favorite.
My favorite bag is the one I made using the Harper Holdall pattern by Lazygirl. I made a matching purse tissue holder and small zipper pouch. I use it all the time.
Best wishes to you Pat and your family. My dad is 80 and is going through some things at this time that we are working through. Hope everything gets worked out for you and you are able to settle into your new routine. Take your time and take care of yourself also.
My favorite bag is one I actually got at a skate shop when my boys were still in school. I use it all the time. It us the perfect size for so many things. I use it for groceries, overnight stays, road trip snacks and projects. It is awesome!
Side note I hope your Mum is doing better. Enjoy every minute you get with her.
My favorite bag is the current one I am using and that changes often for where I am going and the type of project I am working on.
My favorite bag is one a friend made me. It is beautiful with embroidered flowers and sewing items. So pretty that I only carry it on special occasions so that I won’t get it dirty. It has pockets on the outside and a zipper on the top.
Prayers for you and your family! My favorite project bags are the ones I make out of mini charms and a vinyl front. I love fabric.
I love project bags but haven’t made any yet. Something to add to the list.
I may be the ultimate bag lady. I love them all. But the mesh bags from the Fat Quarter Shop are at the top of the list.
Favorite bag was sewn by a co-worker’s Mom. It is lined and has pockets and is large enough to tote everything I needed to my weekly quilt gathering. I’d like to make and gift a bag or two.
I love bags in general, from the very large one I made to take to the weekly quilting group to the small ones to hold little things, and everything in between. The mesh bags are not in my collection and I wish I had a few. Love the aqua collection!
Hang in there, Pat. Family first. I miss you, but know that you are doing the important stuff. <3
My favorite bags are those you can see thru. Out of site, out of mind. Quicker to find when searching. All the best to those you love and those who love you.
I love the mesh project bags. Really, I like all kinds of bags. I haven’t tried to make any, yet, but that’s on my TBD list.
My favorite bag is the All The Things Tote by Knot and Thread. It holds a lot and looks so great. I’ve made so many for gifts using fun fabrics.. I take mine to all the sew alongs and quilt guild meetings.
Thinking of you as you navigate thought this time with your mother. You are a very caring daughter. 💕
My favorite bag is the Anita Goodesign Bloomin’ Tote. It is an in the hoop embroidery and, unfortunately, they don’t sell the pattern anymore.
Thinking of you and your family, Pat. Hoping all goes well in this new phase of life. I love all bags, especially those with boxed corners that seem to hold more “stuff”!
My favorite bag is one that my mom made for me, it has hand applique and piecing, I use it every month for my get together sew with friends.
I love making bags for traveling, crafting and organization. I mainly make by Annie bags, they can be challenging but turn out so professional looking. I really like my running with scissors bag for quilt retreats!
I like the mesh ones to keep projects in. They make it easier to take to retreats.
I have a soft sided bag that I use for traveling that also hold my purse so I only have 1 item to look after.
This is a generous gift from Fat Quarter Shop. I love all bags!
I’ve got you and your family in my prayers. This season of your life is different but it is worth the effort. You will never regret time spent with your mom.
I also LOVE the mesh bags. I only have 3 so far. Pat, family first!!! Take care of yourself, your Mom, and Greg. We will always be here for you! Thank you for all that you do.
Sadly I don’t own any project bags, so I am following all the comments to get an idea of what I should buy . I have plastic containers that I do use sometimes for projects .
I also really like the mesh type project bags! I can see what’s inside and keep all the project pieces in one place, plus lightweight. They do travel so well when we visit our mountain home.
Hi Pat, thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. I’ve been in that same season of life with my father-in-law. Be sure to take some time for yourself as there is plenty of stress and you need to take care of yourself.
My favorite bag is a zippered mesh bag, the ones you can see what’s in them.
My favorite bags are the zipper bags I made with Dollar Tree dish drying mats! Prayers for you and your family. It will all be all right.
I love bags and pouches! I do not have a mesh bag yet. They look like they would be fun to use. Many prayers for you and your family, your quilting buddies will be here when you have a minute. ❤️
Projects bags with vinyl fronts are one of my favorite pieces in my sewing room. Without the vinyl I completely forget what’s inside, waiting for my attention!!
A red quilted Vera Bradley bag that was my mom’s. She passed three years ago
I love the mesh bags and the bags I make from my scraps!
Thanks for offering a giveaway!
Bags seem to multiply like bunnies. I have sooo many but I don’t have any mesh bags. With all the projects that I store or carry projects in it would be great to have bags that are “see- thru”. Just saves time and makes so much sense.
Prayers for you and your Mother. Enjoy your time with her, that’s what counts!
Favorite bag. Mmmm I have many bags and use them depending on what project I’m working on. I tend to go more for the puffy quilted bags. I have never tried a mesh bag but would love to have the opportunity to try one. Thanks for the chance.
I like the mesh bags. Looks like it holds quilt projects nicely. Sending love and prayers for your family.
