Who does not absolutely LOVE this jumbo laundry bag? The fabrics used are gorgeous, bright and cheerful and it's stylish too! The video and very clear instructions make this a very easy project to make. I am going to be making a few of these to use in my workroom for fabrics or specific projects, etc.

Love the gigantic laundry bag idea. Great for a going-away gift for a college student. This might be a great pattern to use with heavy duty cotton drop cloth fabric. I would personalize the bag by using stencils for a designer touch. The instructions are easy to follow and there is even a video for additional explanation. Nice project.
