This is a simple project with easy-to-make pieces that would be a wonderful pattern for a sewing beginner. Cut 38 squares, 6 inches each, from flannel fabric. You can use the same flannel fabric for all the squares or cut a variety of scraps.

Cut 19 squares, also 6 inches each, from lightweight cotton quilt batting. These are the components for the body and bottom of the bag. Lay out the flannel squares.
