Trick-or-Treat Bag: Tote and Pouch by Hammerstitch - Bag Making Kit

The trick or treat bag that outlives the candy.

This kit has everything you need to sew both the Large Steeltown Tote and the Hamilton Pouch by Hammerstitch Bags. The tote is your trick or treat bag on Halloween and your market tote all season. The pouch is for the small things: spare mittens, a granola bar and the emergency candy you're keeping for yourself.

Choose your statement exterior fabric: Wing It, Dying to Dance, or Family Portrait. 

✨ What's Inside

• The exterior fabric of your choosing
• Water-resistant canvas or Dayflex for lining (Depending on Kit)
• Webbing for straps
  
• Fusible fleece 
• Matching zipper and zipper pull

Why Makers Love This Project

• Two projects, one kit. The Large Steeltown Tote plus the Hamilton Pouch, so you finish with a matching set instead of one bag and a pile of leftovers.
• Beginner means beginner. Step by step instructions with full colour photos. If this is your first bag, this is a very good first bag.
• Nothing to print or trace. It's a measure and cut pattern, all in inches. Grab your ruler and rotary cutter and go.
• A shape you'll keep reaching for. Full size tote proportions with clean lines. It carries the candy, and then it just keeps going.
• It becomes the tradition. This is the bag that shows up in the photos every year. That's not a feature we can put on a spec sheet, but it's the real reason to make it.
