After my strawberry bag, it was clear—the fruit series had to continue! The idea for the orange bag came quickly, and the round shape of an orange is simply perfect for a practical bag. I especially love the small, hand-embroidered dots that give the bag its own handmade touch. These details immediately show the quality and care that went into this project.

The bag can be used for small treasures or a snack on the go. The instructions are designed for all skill levels, though a little sewing experience helps to handle the sometimes tricky work that comes with making a bag. I find the knotted leaves on the bag strap particularly charming, as they complete the orange look.

You can personalize the bag by choosing thicker or thinner threads for the dots or even using them to write a child’s name. There are also plenty of color possibilities—you could easily turn the orange into a grapefruit or a lime.

To ensure the bag retains its shape and remains sturdy, I recommend using robust fabrics like woven cotton and the right interfacing. This will help the orange keep its beautiful shape and stay durable!
