Sew a quiver bag: This bag is a hit! Sew yourself a brilliant retractable bag now. With a downloadable pattern. With my instructions, even beginners can make this great little bag.
What makes the quiver bag so special?
The secret to this bag is that it can be flexibly pushed together and pulled apart. Just as you like, and according to how much space you need!
Always as big as it needs to be!
If you push the cuff up, you extend the quiver of the bag and have much more space in no time! If you push the cuff down, you can easily reach the items inside the bag.
The bag is perfect for sewing supplies, but also ideal as a pencil case for school (ruler included!), university, or work. It also makes for a great little makeup bag!

A word on the materials used
The material mix makes it possible for the bag to be handled very easily and flexibly. Thanks to the Tyvek used, the cuff can be pushed very easily.
Tyvek, or so-called paper fabric, is one of my favorite materials for bags because it is so durable, lightweight, and washable.
You decide which of the bag elements should be made of Tyvek. It is important that either the cuff or the bag body is made of Tyvek. You can also make both elements out of Tyvek.
The other element can then be sewn from cotton fabric. Tyvek and cotton go perfectly together for this bag.
The inside of the cuff and the lining of the bag are sewn from ripstop. This is a lightweight nylon fabric that can be used for rain jackets, in the outdoor sector, or for bags, for example.
As an alternative to ripstop, you can use nylon lining fabric, for example.
Can you also sew the bag only out of cotton?
Yes and no. Technically, it is possible. However, the quiver will not slide, and pulling it apart and pushing it will become a struggle.
So the bag is definitely designed for a material mix with Tyvek and ripstop. :)
What other accessories do I need?
- Fabric marker* or chalk pencil*
- Sewing thread* (also nice in a contrasting color for topstitching!)
- Rotary cutter*
- Fabric scissors*
- Patchwork ruler*
- Sewing machine*
- Pins*
This is what the finished quiver bag looks like
Definitely a real beauty, right? ;)
