Open Wide Ruler Bag

This pattern has 5 pages of easy to follow direction with 43 diagrams for each step. The bag is 14"x7"x2"to 2.5". The pattern has 3 different base sizes to choose from depending how wide you want the bottom of the bag. This bag was inspired by needing a bag just for holding my rulers. It fits my 12"x6" ruler and my 6"x6.5" ruler, these are the ones I use the most along with my many smaller rulers. The bag has a zipper pocket on the inside with easy to follow directions and diagrams on how to sew it. The pocket is about 8" wide by 5" deep. The way I sew the top zipper allows you to open up the bag really wide so you can easily see and get inside the bag. The wider cut out bottom holds more than just rulers it can hold a rotary cutter and a few small notions. The narrower base bottom holds the rulers snugly together and is flatter. The 2 handles that are sewn into the bag make it sturdy and strong to hold. You can add buttons or grommets to the handles to make them stand up. The bag is so cute you can even make it into a purse. I have made the bag in quilting cotton, canvas, canvas linen blend and even a light weight denim, and they all turned out beautiful. Add a small applique or stitchery to make it your own. I don't go sewing with out my ruler bag.
