A complete lightweight canvas kit from Riley Blake and Lori Holt that contains printed panels and instructions to sew four large (14" x 12") and four small (9" x 8") zippy project bags.

Bring farmhouse-inspired charm to your sewing table with the Riley Blake Zippy Bags 4 Panel kit designed by Lori Holt of Bee in My Bonnet and It’s Sew Emma. This printed canvas panel (54" x 54") supplies pre-arranged fabric sections and a clear pattern so you can cut, stitch, and finish eight different-sized bags with coordinating zipper choices. The kit blends practical utility with cheerful, vintage-style visuals rooted in Lori Holt’s Farmer’s Daughter aesthetic, giving you a quick, satisfying project for gifts, travel, or organizing craft supplies.

What pieces are included and how many bags will I finish?

The kit contains a full printed canvas panel sized to produce eight bag fronts and backs plus step-by-step sewing instructions. You’ll complete four large pouches (14" x 12") and four smaller pouches (9" x 8").

• One 54" x 54" lightweight canvas printed panel with marked cutting guides.
• Patterned panels arranged for four large and four small bag bodies.
• Written sewing directions for assembly and finishing techniques.
• Zipper recommendations for a coordinated look (Happy Zippers series).

How difficult is the project for beginners?

This is an accessible sew-along for beginners who know basic straight stitching; experienced makers will finish quickly. Instructions focus on simple construction steps, and the printed panel reduces measuring and layout time.

• Clear cut lines and printed placement to minimize pattern transfers.
• Simple bag shapes that require only basic machine stitches and topstitching.
• Suggested zipper types to speed finishing without complex hardware.
• Great practice for learning box corners, zipper insertion, and edge finishing.

What materials and tools will I need beyond the panel?

You’ll need standard sewing supplies plus zippers to complete the bags — the kit does not include zippers or thread. Choose Lori Holt’s Happy Zippers sets for matching colorways or pick your own contrast zippers to personalize each pouch.

• Sewing machine, thread, pins or clips, and scissors or rotary cutter.
• Zippers: Happy Zippers, Happy Zippers 2, or Happy Zippers 3 recommended.
• Optional: lightweight interfacing or lining fabric for added structure.
• Measuring tape and an iron to press seams for crisp edges.

How can I use or gift the finished zippy bags?

Finished pouches work well as travel organisers, craft supply holders, cosmetic cases, or thoughtful handmade gifts. Their varied sizes let you mix and match uses, and the printed farmhouse motifs add a nostalgic, homemade touch.

• Large bags: ideal for pattern storage, tablets, or travel essentials.
• Small bags: perfect for notions, makeup, or gift card packages.
• Create sets for bridal showers, teacher gifts, or craft swaps.
• Personalize with trims, labels, or hand-stitched accents for extra charm.

Who this kit is for: makers who enjoy quick, satisfying sewing projects with a vintage-farmhouse look — from confident beginners ready to practice zipper work to experienced sewists wanting a colourful, low-prep project. If you like practical handmade accessories, want to use a single printed panel for multiple finished items, or are seeking a lovely giftable craft, this Riley Blake and Lori Holt Zippy Bags 4 Panel kit provides an efficient, creative way to sew eight coordinated pouches with minimal fuss.
