Wet’n’Dry Washbag (original) - £5+VAT
When you pack your washbag to go
away, everything is clean and dry,
but things don’t stay that way!
This
Wet’n’Dry Washbag has two central
compartments so you can separate
your toothbrush and washcloth. It
also has two outer pockets for your
medications or contact lenses, to
keep them organised.
There is a newer version of this pattern, which includes a larger size, full pattern pieces, and uses fusible fleece, which you can buy here. This version is great for if you want to use quilt batting. All shaped pattern pieces are included, and you are given sizes for the rectangles to cut out yourself, using your favourite quilt rulers. There is a video tutorial which shows how to stitch the lining of this version of the Wet’n’Dry Washbag. Watch it here. This pattern includes references to my Wrist Straps Four Ways Masterclass. Download it here.
