During most of the year, I try to provide our readers with a variety fun and informative sewing-related articles as well as at least one free sewing project and pattern each and every week.
However, as I mentioned in a recent email, I'm away on vacation with my family now.  You may not know it, but the weekly sewing projects take almost a full week of work to design, document, test, illustrate and write up.  I just haven't been able to do it this week.
As long as you download it on Craftsy this weekend, it will be free for you forever. Â After this weekend, the pattern will go back on sale at $6.95.
I think round bags are both stylish and fun to make.  This design for the Roundabout Bag has been super popular over the years in our store.  It has been thoroughly tested and reviewed by not only our pattern testers but by thousands of readers who have used the pattern.
Features of the Roundabout Bag
- Unusual circular design with top zipper
- Uses ready made leather handles for a store-bought look (or you can make your own )
- Roomy inside with space for several internal pocket options
- Front single pocket with twist lock (optional)
- Back divided pocket
- Optional piping
- Full video tutorial (with pattern purchase only)
- Finished size – approx. 9 inches across by 3 inches deep
Thank you! And have a wonderful vacation!

Thanks so much for the free pattern!! I’d been looking at this pattern for a while. I hope your vacation is everything you need it to be.
I’m so rude, after all the lovely patterns you have given us, I forgot to say thank you. You are very much appreciated.
Can’t wait to stitch it. The hardest part will be deciding the fabrics, it’s so versatile. You are my favorite Craftsy designer.
I just wrote a note to you and my tablet ate it. I just wanted to let you know that you give me such inspiration, and you always put a smile on my face. Thank you so much for your caring and sharing. It’s come down to buying your patterns or buying fabric. Thanks again for helping me make that choice.
