Watch the tutorial for the Joplin Carpet Bag here.
Come make the Joplin Carpet Bag with me! This is a super fun make that is very easy - the hardest part will be inserting the pins into the frame. Use a mallet to whack 'em in and you're golden!

Approximate finished size: 18" W x 15" H x 7" D
Materials needed:
- 16" Tubular Frame (1)
- Shannon Quilting Cuddle 1 yard
- Quilting Cotton for lining 1 yard + 8" x 36" for pockets
- SF101 or equivalent 2 yards
- 2" wide jacquard webbing 90" length total
- Stretch Needle 90/14 (required for Quilting Cuddle)
Helpful tools: Usual sewing tools such as a rotary cutter and measuring mat, sewing stiletto, pins or clips, and a Teflon pressing sheet. Some people might prefer sewing this bag with a walking foot if using the Shannon Quilting Cuddle like I am in the video. Fray Check is helpful to treat raw webbing edges.
