Jelly Roll Handbag Pattern

We are excited to announce the new pattern 'Jelly Roll Handbags' to carry on the phenomenal Jelly-Roll Rug Technique craze.

This version still uses a Jelly Roll BUT, the best bit, only uses 20 strips... So, from most Standard 40 Strip Jelly Rolls you can make two bags or of course use the other 20 strips (not used for a bag) in another project!

The pattern contains instructions for a bag that features, lining, internal pouch pockets, pen slot, zipped internal pocket, key fob loop and magnetic fastenings. You can of course choose to include or exclude any features you wish. 

Roma was inspired to create the first rug & pattern while admiring antique rugs. Her inspiration and info in her own words below…

‘I wanted to come up with something that would be a fun sewing project for all.
After seeing the methods that were currently available, I decided that I wanted something totally different & Behold, the Jelly-Roll Rug Technique came to pass!’
