This is a badge bit (
BB) that is part of the
PEP curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the
straw badge in
textiles.
In this
project, you will quilt a small bag. It
should be made of natural or repurposed fabrics. Woven fabrics are more suited to this than knitted. Plant fibres are generally less prone to stretching than wool, but felted wool can make a sturdy bag. Leather is also a good option, though--like felted wool--is usually more bulky.
Here are some quilted bag tutorials:
