The Retreat Bag is a simple zippered pouch with a wide base and a wide structured opening. There is a casing in the top where you insert two wire frames (one on each side), which helps it stay open when open, and helps turn the corners down when closed. It has two optional slip pockets inside and a long zipper that helps it open wide.
The key to having a nicely shaped Retreat Bag is interfacing, interfacing and interfacing. One layer of interfacing and then a layer of fusible Thermolam Plus fleece on the exterior, in addition to interfacing on the lining and you are all set. Even with the interfacing, it makes up really quickly. You could try it with other soft stabilizers as well, and if you chose to, you could even leave out the frames and let it stand up proud. (But I think the frames really make it!)

Customer Reviews
In the process of making. Web site was easy to navigate and received pattern quickly. Instructions so far are
an enjoyable experience. Thank you for all you offer.
Ordered some frames too, which came very quickly! Ready to make more for Christmas gifts.
I just finished the bag which I will use as a cosmetic bag. The pattern is easy to follow and the bag sewed up well.
