Based on an authentic Japanese rice bag, or Komebukuro, this beautiful drawstring holdall is made from simple squares and can be sized up or down to suit your needs. Make it patchwork, add a contrast lining, or even pad out your bag with quilt wadding to create a sturdy everyday accessory to hold your essentials.
Mix them up to create four patchwork panels. Sew the small squares right sides together, leaving a 5mm seam allowance, then press.
Sew each of the patchwork squares to the four edges of the 15cm square to form a cross. Bring the sides of each patchwork square together and stitch up the side seam to make a bag. Cut five 15cm squares of plain lining and sew together in the same way,
