Savanna Bag Tutorial

How to make a Savanna Bag Video tutorial by Angie Juda

We share three sizes of the Savanna Bag in the video but we will demonstrate how to make the larger size.

Our scallop squares were cut with the Scallop Square Die but you could use a Charm Pack instead.  The squares are only slightly larger. But don’t forget to increase the size of your fusible fleece.

Update: I’ve combined all four videos into one video, here ya go….

Here’s four videos to show you how to make the Large Savanna Bag. Also known as the Savanna Purse.

I used the Big Shot Die Cut Machine with  the Scallop Square die to cut the fabric.

  1. Love the little bags! I use to sew a lot and made a lot of square quilts in my time for friends and family and you are right – lining the squares up is key! I really love your little bag (2 x 2) and the 3 x 3.
    Brings back memories when sewing was my main hobby when my kids were little. awesome!

  3. Thank you so much Angie for such a great tutorial. I am one of those “visual” people so this is a great help to me! I cannot wait for the Big Shot to come out here to Australia so I can make one of these bags.

  4. Angie, I just made one of your bags. Your video was fabulous. I am not the best sewer but my bag turned out fantastic. I wish I knew how to send you a picture of it-because I am so proud that I made it. But, I could not have done it without your tutorials. I have been a hobby demo for SEVEN years. My goal is to have a blog and a Stampin’ Up! website. Thanks for all your great ideas. MaryBeth Hughes – Minnesota

  5. Yes, you have inspired me to dust off my sewing machine. I am awaiting my die to make these bags. You did a wonderful job (as always) at teaching us how to do this. Thanks so much for all your time you put into it!! It is appreciated!! Did you get this fabric at Joanns??

  6. Angie, Love your Savannah bag. Someone might have already told you, but you can do your basting stich on your ruffle with your sewing machine. Just make the length of your stitch longer.

    I am definitely going to make some of these!

    Love your projects, you are a great inspiration.

  8. I have made one of these bags before, but yours is a complete bag (liner and all) really is the best tutorial I’ve ever seen. AND your instructions and little tips really make this bag mistake-proof. Love the idea for the little plastic in the bottom of the bag. Please don’t ever stop making tutorials. It sure helps seniors like myself get a clear picture of how things go together, and shows they are easier than I ever imagined, which gets me to make them. Love your cards too. I have made a lot of them, and my friends think they are BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!
