Explore the Perfect Fit: Discover Your Ideal Handmade Bag Size

 When shopping online, determining bag sizes can be tricky. Bag measurements suggest most bags are similar, but slight variations in size and orientation can impact overall volume.

I’ve detailed my standard bags on this page to assist you in selecting the most suitable bag. While I try to keep sizing the same for each style of bag, slight variations possible due to fabric manufacturer, pattern repeat, and handmade nature of the bags. Measurements are provided in each listing, with any deviations noted. 

Drawstring Bags:

Small Drawstring Bag:  These bags measure approximately 9.5” wide by 10” tall and have a 3.5” boxed bottom.  They will hold up to two cakes of sock yarn and close with a double drawstring.  Some of these bags have pockets, while others don't. Please see individual listings for details.  

Bucket Bag:  These are the largest bags that I currently offer.  Round in shape, these measure approximately 9.5” - 10” tall and have a 8.5” diameter bottom.  They all have pockets all the way around on the inside.  These bags will hold quite a lot and are good for medium to larger projects.  The bottom of these bags are quilted as a fun design feature and for added stability, and they will stand open like a bucket for easy access.  Please note that once closed, these bags will have slightly less capacity.

Here is a size by side comparison of the small drawstring bags (left) and the bucket bags (right).

 Zippered Bags and Pouches:

Accessory Pouch:  Adorable little pouches which measure approximately 5” tall by 8.5” wide and have a 2.5” boxed bottom.  These are great for carrying accessories and other small items, and they will stand on their own.  

Sock Minis:  These are my smallest project bags.  Each mini will hold one cake of sock weight yarn and are good for very small (sock sized) projects.  They come with a removable wrist strap and are great for travel. These bags measure approximately 6.25" tall by 9.5" wide with a 3.5" boxed bottom, and do not come with pockets.  

Sock Pouches:  These pouches have more room than the sock minis and will fit a heavier weight yarn and a small project, such as a hat or cowl. These also come with a removable wrist strap. These bags measure approximately 7" tall by 11" wide with a 3.5" boxed bottom, and do not come with pockets.    

Zippered Bags:  These are the largest of my zippered bags/pouches and they come with interior pockets.  These will easily hold at least two cakes of yarn and are great for medium sized projects.  These measure approximately 9" tall by 12" wide and have a 4" boxed bottom.  These also come with a removable wrist strap.
