Magner Project Bags with English Bridle Leather
Designed and handcrafted in Athens, GA by Casey in his studio with his dog Smokey by this side, these project bags were created to be simple, classic, and everyday project bags that age beautifully and get better with use. Formed with durable fabrics, solid stitching and leather additions, they are made to last. We love the variety of color options!
Product Details:
- Handmade in Athens, Georgia
- 10 in. wide, 10 in. tall, 6 in. deep
- Materials: waxed canvas, brass grommets, bridle leather
- Front side: Pattern Pocket - 10” wide x 6.5” tall with 3 solid brass grommets designed to hold folded patterns and allow for tangle free knitting on the go.

- 3 slotted pockets sized at 2” wide x 5.5” tall for needles, sunglasses, etc.
- Using the bag:
Cinch top drawcord design allows the bag to open wide during use (tip* - leave the cords slightly cinched to create a yarn bowl - the slightly cinched top of the bag will stabilize it)
Also provides for a snug closure and will help keep contents in place while traveling. The cords can be tied after cinching for added protection.
The handles are designed to stay down and out of the way while in use, but can be rotated up for carrying. This also allows the bag to hang from your arm and knit on the go. - please note - Waxed canvas is known for “craze marks” that occur with use. Many people love the vintage and classic looks, but if you want to return your waxed canvas to a smooth uniform surface you can apply heat with a hair dryer or toss the bag in the dryer for 2 minutes or so.
- Due to the tanning process this leather starts off pretty stiff (like a real leather belt). To speed up the break in process of this beautiful leather apply a small amount of lotion to the backside and then just bend, twist, and roll it in your hands - It will wear in and soften immediately!
