Add a little luxury to your daily routine! Use a variety of ribbons and borders to make these simple, quick bags into exquisite masterpieces. Renaissance Ribbon Bags are perfect for travel or everyday use and great for gifts, too! You’ll love the extra-easy zipper installation and beautifully-finished interior no unfinished seams!
The flat-bottomed zippered pouches in two sizes stand up and open wide to keep all your essentials in one place. Soft and Stable provides stability and gentle protection for contents.
The small bag measures 5-3/4in H x 5-1/2in to 7in W x 2in D and the large bag measures 5in H x 7-1/2in to 10-1/2in W x 3in D. The exterior of the bags are made using ribbons and velvet border.
Renaissance Ribbons exquisite woven jacquard ribbons are available from Sew Hot by the yard. 1.25 yards of each: 1½”, ⅜”, (ribbons) and 5″ border print will make one small and one large bag. At this time we are not able to get the Renaissance Velvet borders, however any cotton or jacquard coordinating border print will look just as beautiful. Ribbons that you can use to give the illusion of an additional border are recommended below.
Each bag uses just one side of a piece of zipper tape, so one 30in double-slide zipper will make both bags!

The pattern itself seems at first glance to be a little complicated. However the free add on video is superb. I was able to complete the small bag in a night.
