This simple yet functional toilet bag has one main compartment and two smaller zipper pockets – one on the inside of the flap and the other on the outside of the front panel.

Designed to be hung up for ease of use, this hanging toiletry bag pattern has been designed to be hung anywhere including on hooks, around towel rails and over door handles.

With handles on either side, the Hang About Toiletry Bag is easy to grab and pack into your suitcase, overnight bag or wherever you need to hang about.

This pattern comes with two files – the pattern instructions/pieced pattern pages, and a large print pattern pieces file suitable for printing at your local print shop on the correct sized paper. It has 10 pages of clear, detailed instructions. It is suitable for an intermediate sewer. All pattern pieces have been digitally drawn.

Wary of zippers and piping? Don’t be! Throughout the pattern I give detailed and comprehensive instructions and photos to make adding the zippers and piping an easy and stress-free experience.

The Hang About Toiletry Bag is perfect for those who prefer more compact toiletry bags and they make fantastic gifts as well.

This is a printed paper pattern that will be posted out to you. This is NOT a PDF download.
