After moving to Chicago this summer, I’ve been looking forward to attending all of the upcoming events and creating some quick crafts. However, lately, I’ve been experiencing the problem of having a lot of stuff. Since I’ve been exploring the museums like the Shedd Aquarium and the Field Museum, I usually have my hands full of maps of the downtown area, copies of the transportation schedules, souvenirs, and my camera. As a result, some of my maps have blown away from me, and I’m always frantically looking for my phone because I forget to carry a bag. Call me a tourist, but I like to experience all that is offered!

I know I’m not the only one who often leaves their purse at home. So, I’ve compiled a list of bag patterns from AllFreeSewing that you can easily sew at home, and they’re perfect for all of my beginner sewist friends.

15 Easy Bag Patterns for Summer Music Fests

Easy Bag Patterns

To make sure that I have everything, I need a purse, tote, or any other type of bag that I can easily sling over my shoulder. It needs to hold everything together so that I don’t have to worry about losing it. Ideal bag goals: a stylish and spacious shoulder bag that’s practically hands-free. Since I’m planning on going to a lot of festivals and concerts in the following months, I’m going to have a lot of fun making these easy bag patterns. And with these sewn bags, I’ll have the perfect and practical sewn accessory!

So, why spend a ton of money on a vintage tote or designer purse when you can make one yourself? Seriously, these easy bag patterns are super quick and budget-friendly! In this collection, you’ll find a bag for any and all occasions. For example, every festival has a different theme and context. You won’t bring a designer bag to a Jason Aldean concert, would you? No, save the money and make one of these sewn bags instead!

Whether you’re touring the city or you’re going to a local music festival, these handbag patterns are perfect for all occasions. They’re so versatile that you need to start sewing one now!
