THIS LISTING IS FOR A DIGITAL PDF SEWING PATTERN, NOT A FINISHED BAG Cheri Demeter®

Create your own Japanese Knot Bag with a beautifully simple shape, a fully reversible design, and a clean, professional finish.

This beginner-friendly PDF sewing pattern includes two sizes—Medium and Large—so you can make a smaller bag for everyday essentials or a roomier version when you need a little more space. Its distinctive asymmetrical handles slip through one another to close the bag naturally, without the need for zippers, snaps, or additional hardware.

The construction is carefully designed so that all raw edges are enclosed. Once finished, the bag can be used on either side, making it perfect for combining two coordinating or contrasting fabrics.

Easy to sew, highly customizable, and satisfying to make, this is a lovely project for yourself or as a thoughtful handmade gift.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS PATTERN

• Fully reversible design
• Two sizes included: Medium and Large
• Clean finish with no exposed raw edges
• No zippers, snaps, or hardware required
• Full-size printable pattern pieces—no scaling or enlarging needed
• Seam allowances included
• Detailed, step-by-step photo tutorial
• Beginner-friendly construction
• Quick and enjoyable sewing project
• Beautiful in linen, cotton, velvet, canvas, and many other fabrics

WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE

This digital download includes:

• Full-size printable sewing patterns for both sizes
• 15-page illustrated instruction manual

Print the pattern at 100% or “Actual Size,” cut out the pieces, and start sewing. No pattern enlargement is required.

FINISHED SIZES

Measurements are approximate:

• Medium: 12 in high × 11 in wide (30.5 × 28 cm)
• Large: 16 in high × 13 in wide (40.5 × 33 cm)

SKILL LEVEL

Beginner friendly.

Basic sewing-machine knowledge is helpful, but the tutorial includes clear photographs and detailed instructions to guide you through each step.

SUGGESTED FABRICS

This design adapts beautifully to different seasons and materials—from breathable linen and cotton for a relaxed summer bag to velvet or richly textured fabrics for a more refined look.

For best results, choose a woven, non-stretch fabric with enough body to hold the shape of the bag.

Suitable options include:

• Medium- or heavyweight linen
• Cotton canvas
• Denim
• Corduroy
• Velvet
• Upholstery-weight fabric
• Quilting cotton with interfacing
• Decorative or textured fabrics

You can also combine two different fabrics to create a contrasting reversible bag.

If your chosen fabric is lightweight, soft, or loosely woven, apply a suitable fusible interfacing before cutting or assembling the bag. The interfacing is optional when using a fabric that already has enough structure.

FABRIC REQUIREMENTS

Exterior fabric:

• Medium: 15 × 25 in (38 × 64 cm)
• Large: 19 × 31 in (48 × 79 cm)

Lining or second exterior fabric:

• Medium: 15 × 25 in (38 × 64 cm)
