Post Office Bag: Tutorial

Today’s feature is from Elsie Marley with Post Office Bag Tutorial, this is one super-neat bag!

Now that I have an etsy shop I find myself at the post office more than ever. Along with all the packages I have to carry I have a stroller to push and a toddler’s hand to hold.

The packages are always weird sizes and never seem to fit in a paper bag, so I came up this handy dandy post office bag. It’s just a long piece of fabric with some handles and pockets, but it works like a charm. The pockets are sized to fit a long envelope and there is one on each side.

I put my receipts, my stamps, and my custom forms in the pockets so they don’t get lost in the bottom of my purse or the diaper bag (which they usually do). I figured since there are so many etsy sellers there must be a lot of you who have this package transport problem (kids or no kids) and so I wrote a simple tutorial for this super easy bag. It shouldn’t take more than a couple hours from start to finish.

All you need for supplies are: 1 1/2 yards heavy duty fabric; about 1/2 yard interfacing and thread to match.

It’s an interesting bag with no sides so that you can fit all sorts of packages and larger envelopes, perfect if you sell on eBay or Etsy. Found via Whipup.net.
