This origami style project bag zips open to reveal a bowl/basket to hold your project materials. If you knit or crochet, this bag will hold your yarn and stop it from rolling away. When you are ready to put it away its as easy as a *zip*.
This is the bag I made for my 11 year old daughter for her birthday. She is becoming quite a proficient knitter, so I thought she would like her own project bag. She loves it and put her newest yarn skeins in it. I also made her a tiny snap pouch and a rolling sleeve for her knitting supplies and needles.
