Fabric Recommendation:
This Bag is designed to be made using medium to heavy-weight woven fabrics for the Exterior Pieces and light to medium-weight woven fabric for the Interior/Lining Pieces. 

Fabric Suggestions:
Woven Fabric for Outer: For Example Canvas, (Faux) Leather, Vinyl, Denim, Cotton Woven (medium to heavy-weight), Waterproof Canvas, 600D/1000D Polyester, Waxed Canvas, Cotton Duck Fabric, Ripstop Nylon, Oilcloth, Polyurythane Lined (PUL) etc. 

Woven Fabric for Lining: Nylon 400D, Ripstop Nylon or Waterproof Canvas. These fabrics are light weight, durable, quick-drying and easy to clean. This is helpful when using it as a cosmetics bag or to store things such as shampoo, lotion or toothpaste. Alternatively, you can also use other lightweight woven fabric like quilting cotton, woven cotton blends, etc.

Interfacing:
Depending on the fabric that you use for the main and liner pieces, you can use fusible foam or fleece for the main pieces to add some shape. When needed you can add regular mid-weight interfacing for Vinyl or Faux Leather. Light to medium weight interfacing can be used for the lining pieces.

Great pattern!

This is a cool bag. My daughter saw it, and she just had to have it.

I love the pattern

I love the pattern. I’ve made 3 small. Using one as a makeup bag, gifted one & 1 to carry my Mahjong tiles!

Super functional bag!

Super functional excellent bag! I have only made the medium so far, and overall I love the final product. I had a really hard time sewing the bag closed where the zippers go, and ended up seam ripping and eventually hand sewing which was not my favorite. I’m not sure if there are really any ways to make that better, though.

The only feature I’d love to see in this bag is an optional center divider!

Love that there is a sew along video! I did struggle with the bias binding at the end but overall it turned out perfect for my upcoming trip!

Great pattern however instructions poor photos poor

Great pattern however when looking at instructions it’s confusing as the chosen fabrics for project are difficult to make out. Poor photography not well lit
I would use patterns again but the instructions and photography need to be upgraded as they let down a really great product ie the pattern and it may put beginners off project

Hi Audrey, thank you so much for your honest feedback. I am thrilled to hear that you love the pattern design itself, but I am so sorry that the photography in the instructions made the assembly frustrating for you!

As a designer, my goal is always to make the sewing process as clear and stress-free as possible, especially for beginners. I am going to personally check this file this week and look into updating the photo lighting and contrast to ensure the steps are much easier to see and follow. I know how tricky it can be when fabric sides blend together, and your notes are incredibly helpful for making our tutorials better.

In the meantime, I wanted to make sure you knew we have a full step-by-step video sew-along available that accompanies this pattern! Sometimes seeing the construction happen in live motion with different lighting can help clear up those tricky areas.

Thank you again for helping us improve. Please feel free to reach out to us at info@ellieandmac.com if you ever run into a specific step you're stuck on—we are always happy to help! ❤️

This was really fun to make!

This was really fun to make! I am a real beginner so my bias tape didn’t go in perfectly, but I love my cubic bag.

Oh, congratulations! Reading this just absolutely made my day.

Please don't worry about the bias tape not being 'perfect'—it is notoriously one of the trickiest skills to master in sewing, even for people who have been doing it for years! The fact that you took on a bag with a few tricky areas as a true beginner and came out with a Cubic Bag that you love is a massive accomplishment. You should be so incredibly proud of yourself!

Thank you so much for sharing your success with us. Welcome to the wonderful world of sewing, and happy making on your next project! ✂️

Lovely pattern, highly recommend

A lovely pattern, and surprisingly easy. I made a medium first and it's really roomy. I'm now making a small and I'm sure I'll make more. It makes a great gift too.

Christmas pressie bags

Great pattern. Very clever the way it turns from a bag to a tray. I made 5; 3 presents, one secret Santa and one for me

A great gift!

I made the medium size for a friend 's birthday present. I used navy cotton drill for the outside, with a sewing themed fat quarter for the inside. The zip is rose gold coloured with a star zip pull. I machine embroidered my friends's initials before assembly.

Loved this bag, so clever how it unzips to become a flat bottom basket. I ended up making 2 as gifts and I’m sure I’ll be making more!

A very comfortably sized toiletry bag!!

This pattern was so much larger than I expected, and I only made the small! I could fit ALL my clips, if which I have 200+ into it with ease. It will certainly make a wonderful toiletry bag. (My printer prints well, and via my laptop) I will be using this pattern as "containers" for Christmas gifts this year!

Love making this bag!

Love making this bag! It's a bit complicated but following the youtube step by step tutorial makes it easy to follow. I have made 1 medium and 2 small bags so far and I am so impressed with them!

Clever pattern!

The Cubic Bag sewing pattern is an absolute joy to sew. I made the middle size and I'm using it to transport my sewing notions to classes. Everyone loves the pattern and I hope they reached out to you to purchase it. Thank you for the clever pattern design!

I’ve not made it yet, only just received the pattern, but the instructions, both written and via video, look fantastically clear and will help when I start construction.

How long does this take to sew up? trying to figure out if I have enough time to make several before a trip. Thanks!

Ellie and Mac

I was able to sew mine in a day. I cut all my pieces one day and then did all the sewing the next.
