We have a fantastic post for you today with these very useful bags that you can make. Today's post has been inspired by the website Spencer Ogg. This is a great website featuring lots of different bag designs and patterns which you can use to make yourself a whole variety of bags.
The bags we are sharing with you today may come in handy for yourself or potentially others in your community.
The Doorstep Care Pod is a really quick and simple bag pattern that can be used to fill with essentials for those who you know in your community that may be struggling or need to self isolate. Fill it with toiletries, prescriptions, groceries and more!
The bag features integral handles and a large box bottom to help the bag stand up and also provides enough room to potentially fit a small casserole dish. There is an option to add a weather resistant flap if you know you will need the contents of the bag to be protected or the bag will be on a doorstep for sometime.
Please find the Spencer Ogg tutorial below for full instructions on how to make this bag.
Moving onto the Volunteer Pack bags...
These volunteer pack bags are ideal for gifting to volunteers and key workers to carry their phone, keys, face masks, hand sanitiser and other essentials. Of course you can also make these bags for yourself as an easy and efficient way to keep all your supplies together so that you can simply grab this bag before heading out.
Inside our bag we have included a couple of fabric face masks, disposable gloves, tissues and some HBG Tape (excellent for holding your mask in place around the nose - especially if you wear glasses!)
On the pockets on the front of the bag we used this space to include some antibacterial wipes, some Instant Alcohol solution and also some filter inserts for our fabric masks.
This bag features a top zip fastening with an easy insertion method. As you can see from our example we decided to make this design more of a grab bag, making use of a short handle. However you can find instructions and links on Spencer Ogg's website for alternative handles you can add.
Please find the Spencer Ogg tutorial below for full instructions on how to make this bag.
We used a waterproof fabric for both of our bags to make them much more practical for carrying all different types of essentials. Please click here for fabric.
We think both of these bags are extremely useful during this time and will also continue to be handy to have around even once the pandemic is over. Spencer Ogg designed these patterns for the bags as a distraction for us who are in need of a sewing project and what better way to enjoy your love of sewing then by also helping others at the same time.
