Case Study: Boxy Bags

The Case Study series revolves around a container design that is sturdy, yet soft. With a padded foam core and simple cuboid shape, the architecture lends itself to a number of storage and transport applications. The straightforward construction process involves basic sewing and crafting techniques. A number of looks from clean utilitarian to boutique designer are possible depending
on fabric and embellishment choices.

The Boxy Bag is great for toting around gear and treasures, including:

Cameras
Handheld video games
Makeup
Small toys and dolls
Wrapped food and beverages
Sewing/Knitting supplies
Tools
Baby supplies
General purse stuff
