How to Make Bicycle Panniers – Free Pattern + Tutorial

how to make bike bags

These bags, designed to fit a bicycle’s rear rack, are just the thing for mobile storage. The design aims to reduce heel-strike, while the clever carrying handle provides easy portability. The straps offer a bit extra carrying capacity; slip in a rolled up newspaper or magazine on your way to your favorite cafe.  Use some laminated fabric, vinyl, or oilcloth to keep your belongings dry.

  • Kids Bike Basket With a Pinwheel Pocket – PDF Tutorial

    Sew a bicycle bucket to carry belongings securely.

    Produced by Tutorial Girl who hails from Ljubljana, Slovenia, this is a PDF photo tutorial with instructions.  Good quality bicycle baskets can be hard to find.  I recently shopped for carrying solutions for my MIL who bicycles all over Florida each winter.  After slugging through three different malls we found a Cordura zippered saddle bag-type bag.  It was $80 USD.  I’m fairly certain I could make the basket pictured above for less than $15 including the pattern.

  • Wheelchair Tote – Free Pattern

    Free Wheelchair Tote Pattern by QuiltWoman

    A free pattern to sew up a small tote bag to attach to the arms of a wheelchair.  This bag provides easy access to small personal items like paperbacks, notebooks, tissues, etc., without having to ask for help.  Before making one of these totes, you might want to check to determine that the design will work with the wheelchair, or ask how the bag might be changed to better suit the user’s needs.  All wheelchairs differ in even some small way with respect to design, measurements, etc.  This PDF pattern should be used only as a guide.
