The Flying Geese Patchwork Bag is a vibrant, beginner-friendly bucket-style tote featured on WeAllSew. Designed by Giuseppe Ribaudo, this project combines the timeless flying geese quilt block with a modern bag silhouette, making it perfect for summer outings or as a thoughtful handmade gift.
This bag stands out with its bold flying geese pattern, achieved through paper piecing—a technique that ensures sharp, precise points. The design allows for creative fabric choices, with suggestions to use a mix of solid and printed fabrics to capture the essence of a summer sunset.
The bag's structure is enhanced by a sturdy canvas lining, providing durability and shape. The addition of grommets and cotton rope handles adds both functionality and a touch of nautical flair. The pattern is versatile, with the option to customize the size, making it suitable for various uses, from a beach bag to a laundry tote.
This pattern is approachable for those new to sewing, offering clear instructions and the opportunity to practice essential skills like paper piecing, sewing straight seams, and adding grommets. The use of solid fabrics simplifies the piecing process, allowing beginners to focus on technique without being overwhelmed by complex patterns.
