Yarn Day Notions Carryall

Introducing the Yarn Day Notions Carryall by Andrie Designs! This practical carryall is perfect for keeping all your yarn-related notions organised and ready to go! With pockets for knitting needles (including circular needles), crochet hooks, swatch rulers, stitch markers and scissors etc., there is a place for everything to make every yarn day enjoyable and successful!

Of course, the Yarn Day Notions Carryall doesn’t just have to be for yarn notions. You could use it for your planner products, markers, stickers, even art supplies… whatever you need to carry on a daily basis. It is a wonderful bag to help organise your supplies!

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 17 pages of clear, detailed instructions. It is suitable for a confident, advanced beginner sewer. All pattern pieces have been digitally drawn. Wary of zippers? Don’t be! Throughout the pattern I give detailed and comprehensive instructions, diagrams and links to our complementary video tutorials to make adding the zippers an easy and stress-free experience.
