Handmade portable pocket
A portable pocket is a pouch that you attach to clothing.
Many girls’ skirts don’t have pockets, and while leggings-style pants are easy to wear, they often have fake pockets, which can be inconvenient.
That’s when a portable pocket really comes in handy.
With this idea, it’s easy to make: simply sew the main fabric, the lower outer fabric, and the lining together with right sides facing, then fold it into a pouch shape and sew.
There’s a spot on the back of the pouch where you can attach a clip, so if it’s a separate clip type, you can put it on any outfit!
Drawstring knapsack with handles
A backpack-style bag you can wear on your back is perfect for everyday use! Here’s an idea for a drawstring knapsack with a handle.
Many parents may worry that when children carry a bag in their hands on the way to preschool, they can’t put their hands out if they trip and fall.
That’s why we recommend a drawstring knapsack with a handle.
This knapsack-style drawstring bag has an unlined, single-layer construction that makes it easy to sew, and it’s appealing because not only kids but also adults can use it as a reusable shopping bag.
Try customizing it to share with your child or make matching ones!
nursery school bag
Essential items to support nursery school life! Here are some ideas for a preschool/school commute bag.
This bag is made without using a zipper, so it’s recommended even for parents who aren’t confident with handmade crafts.
It’s a shoulder bag with a flap and gusset, making it conveniently spacious too.
The shoulder strap can be adjusted to fit your child’s growth, so it’s an idea for a bag that can be cherished for a long time.
Use fabric your child loves and take this opportunity to make a commute bag!

[Unlined] Simple Drawstring Bag

Drawstring pouches are super handy for holding cups and chopsticks, right? This pouch uses a pull-from-both-ends cord, so even kids can easily cinch it closed, making it very user-friendly.
First, prepare one piece of main fabric and two cords.
After finishing the fabric edges to prevent fraying, fold the fabric right sides together and sew the left and right sides, leaving about 6 cm unsewn at the top.
Press the seams open with an iron, then fold the unsewn top section to the outside and stitch it to create the casing for the cords.
Finally, turn the pouch right side out, thread the cords through, and you’re done!
Mini pouch with zipper
How about making a pouch that opens and closes with a zipper? This one has a strap, so you can put in a handkerchief or pocket tissues and attach it to a preschool bag.
To make it, sew the zipper to the outer fabric and lining, create gussets, and sew it into a bag shape.
Sew with right sides together, then turn it right side out and attach the strap.
When you open the zipper, the lining shows, which looks very cute.
However, if you skip the lining, there are fewer steps, so beginners might want to try making it without a lining first.
Children’s shoulder bag
If you’d like to make a shoulder bag your child can take to daycare, why not try this idea? It has one pocket on the outside and one inside, plus a gusset about 10 cm wide, so it can fit a lunch box and more.
Make the main body, pocket, and flap, then sew them together.
Attach magnetic snaps to the flap and the front of the main body so it opens and closes easily.
Use bag webbing and D-rings to make the shoulder strap, attach it to the bag, and you’re done! Using quilted or other thicker fabrics will give it structure and make it easier to use.
Lesson bag with zipper
A versatile lesson bag is an essential item when preparing for kindergarten, isn’t it? It’s easier to make than you might think, so if you like, try making one with fabric your child loves.
First, sew the two outer pieces to the bottom panel and baste the handles in two places.
Next, prepare a lining of the same size; after attaching the zipper, place it right sides together with the outer fabric and sew along the top and bottom.
The fabric should now form a tube.
Rotate it so that, when viewed from the front, the outer and lining fabrics are each showing half and half, then leave a turning gap and sew the sides.
Finally, turn it right side out through the gap and topstitch all the way around the opening, and you’re done!
