The Placemat Projects have sort of “been my thing”. It’s funny, really, I never intended to create a whole series of pouches based off of these Pioneer Woman Placemats from Walmart.
I made another bag (not a placemat bag and someone asked me if it was made from a placemat. I immediately knew that I could make something similar from a placemat, so I did.
Enter, the Project Bag. This is so easy to make and it’s absolutely the perfect size to carry your knitting, cross stitch, etc.. It has a wide open mouth to it that stays open, so you can work right out of the bag. When you’re all finished, cinch it up and you’re project is safe and sound until the next time you’re ready to work.
The six large outside pockets are the perfect place for keys, wallet, phone, etc.
