by annie.com Open Wide 2.0 Pattern

Quick and fun to make, these bags in three sizes open wide for easy access to all your supplies. Binding on the easy-to-install zipper finishes the upper edges and forms a handle and grab tab.

Two inner mesh pockets keep things organized and easy to view. Soft and Stable® provides great body and stability and ensures that the bags stand up and hold their shape.

Slip these classy zippered bags in your suitcase — or use them to maximize the space on your vanity. Be sure to make a few Open Wide 2.0 bags to have on hand for gifts. Who wouldn’t love a cute bag for cosmetics or other supplies?

The pattern includes complete step-by-step instructions for bags in three sizes:

Small: 4"H x 7½"W x 3½"D

Medium: 6½"H x 10½"W x 5"D

Large: 9"H x 12"W x 6"D  

NOTE TO CUSTOMERS: Open Wide 2.0 is an update of Open Wide which was released in 2016. Just like a new edition of a textbook, this new version of the pattern features improved design and layout, easier-to-follow steps and diagrams, and our newest and best techniques. Specific changes include:

• Eliminated excess mesh at bottom of the bag. No more fighting small items out of the mesh.
• Replaced fabric binding on mesh pockets with fold-over elastic. Now you can really fill those pockets.
• Improved bag shape, particularly on small. It now stands up by itself.
• Included stitched fold lines to side. This makes them easier to fold and store when not in use.

We have also filmed an Add-On Video for the project to help you make the bags. Since the Open Wide 2.0 pattern includes a coupon to get the Add-On Video at no charge, we would recommend that you purchase the new and improved version of the pattern.
