Tools and Equipment needed:

Supplies you will need to provide:
Materials and tools:
*You can use any fabric, but preferably use a fabric that is a little thick, that has a bit of body (that is not too loose), if you want to use a fabric that doesn't have enough body, you can use heat-seal interfacing, especially in stretchy fabrics, to keep the shape better. I used cotton 100%. Of course, the wide variety of special patchwork fabrics that exist is recommended and linen is also a good choice
*** When choosing fabrics, make sure they are similar weight/thickness, avoid combining delicate fabrics with thicker fabrics ***
*** It is highly recommended to wash and iron the fabrics before cutting***
* For the patchwork star panel, 3 different fabrics are required
-5”x10” (12.5 x 25 cm) color a
-5” x 10” (12.5 x 25 cm) color b
-5” x 10” (12.5 x 25 cm) color c

* 24” x 32” (60 x 81 cm) fabric for the rest of the exterior bag
*55” x 6” (140 x 15 cm) fabric for the upper part (drawstring bag)
*55” (140 cm) long x 4” (10 cm) wide for the strap, this piece should be made of a non-elastic fabric and preferably of good thickness. If not, use adhesive interlining.
* 45” x 18” (115 x 45 cm) lining
*42” x 12” (105 x 30 cm) Quilted polyester batting fabric
* thermo-adhesive interlining 55” x 20” (140 x 50 cm)
*Cord: two 32" (80 cm) long strips

Kaitlin Apr 9, 2025

I do not recommend this pattern for beginners. Steps are missing or not explained well. Even for an experienced sewer like myself, I had to re-read through it. Will post a photo once completed.

Response from Cheri C

Hi Kaitlin, Thank you for your feedback and for giving the pattern a try. I'm sorry to hear it didn’t feel clear to you—I always aim to make my tutorials as complete and beginner-friendly as possible, with detailed step-by-step instructions and many photos. This pattern has been used successfully by many customers, including beginners, so I’m surprised to hear it felt unclear. I appreciate your input and look forward to seeing your finished piece once you post a photo! Warmly, Cheri
