The Lickety Split Sewing Pattern PDF is now available for instant download! Yaaaay!
: : DESCRIPTION : :
This pattern is for the Lickety Split Bag previously featured here on my blog; it is reversible and can be easily sewn in just a few hours (or less!). It’s so versatile you’ll find yourself using it for everything: a book bag, shopping bag, stroller bag, diaper bag, and more! The four pockets are optional (and super-handy for keys, phones, or water bottles), and the adjustable tie strap allows you to get the perfect fit. It can be sewn on a regular machine or a serger.
: : YOU WILL NEED : :
- 1 yard of quilting cotton for each side of the bag (or less; the amount of fabric you use depends on how you position the pattern pieces, which depends on how the design is printed on the fabric)
- ric-rac or other trim for pockets (optional)
: : DIMENSIONS : :
Body of bag: 18″ wide x13″ tall at center
Overall height: 34″ total with straps untied, approx 26″ with straps tied
: : PATTERN INCLUDES : :
- Detailed step-by-step instructions
- Color photographs to augment instructions
- Hand-drawn summary sheet of instructions (a cheat sheet if you will…this is totally campy but totally me)
- Complete set of full-sized pattern pieces (attach together before cutting)

Pardon my dust
I have worked so hard on this pattern and getting the instant downloads to work smoothly and properly, but as you might expect, problems can and will arise no matter how much testing you do ahead of time. Would you please let me know if you find mistakes, if something is unclear, or if I could make something better? I really appreciate your patience as I get all the glitches worked out.

Absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations on getting the pattern finished.
DONE! I bought one already and am waiting for the pattern to download. I've been dying to make one since you first posted about it. Thanks a ton! So far no hitches in the whole process.
Hooray! I'm so excited to give this one a shot!
Fabulous! Just bought mine and looking forward to stitching it tout suite! I know I said I had a very similar pattern. Turns out it's not so lickety split. Thanks!
Yay! About time! Haha… just kidding. But guess what?? I had Baby Ben at 1:27 am Sunday! Yaaaaay! So I'll be getting to the bag EVENTUALLY.
YEAH! just bought it! Thanks so much! Can't wait to make it….
Yay!!
I've been waiting for you to get this one done. Have bought mine already.
Thanks for the hard work.
Yay! Thanks for the smile at the end of this looooong day! Bought, downloaded…can't wait to start!!!!
I'm so freakin' excited to make this bag!!! I already have several fabrics I want to use!! Can't wait – thanks again for making another wonderful pattern to share with us.
I can't wait to try my hand at this bag, having just mastered the buttercup bag (which my 4 year old thinks is the perfect size for her!) Love your blog!
Well, look at you go! Hope all goes smoothly in this last little bit before the baby arrives
YAY!! Will be purchasing this right when we get back from our trip!
I used paypal and didn't have any problem with the download. I can't wait to try it!
Yay! I love this pattern, so easy! I bought it this afternoon and have 2 done already
They are so cute and have already received compliments. The instructions are super clear and the pattern is very well done! Thanks so much 
Thanks so much for putting this together – I'm sure it was a lot of work. I just downloaded it and I can't wait to get back from my errands to take a crack at it!
Just wanted to let you know my 10 year old daughter helped me sew two of these last night. One was for her. It took us 1 1/2 hours. Not bad for having a helper! We love them. I plan on filling mine with all our goodies for the Harry Potter 6 movie today so we don't have to pay an arm and a leg at the theater.
The instructions were very easy to follow. Great pattern!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, coming over for shopping tomorrow !!!!!!!!!!!
Just bought the Lickety Split pattern…so excited! Thanks for making this available to us! And blessings on the upcoming birth of your little one!
I snagged this right away and have already made a few for friends. They are PERFECT gifts! Now it's time to do one for myself.
Hi there Rae – I just finished my first Lickety Split bag (the one you gave me has seen some heavy use since it got here) and posted it to the group here! Haven't blogged about it yet but I will – and I love the bag! I didn't have your measurements for pockets, so I had to wing it with those, but it came shopping with me today, and it did a great job! I interfaced it with sew-in interfacing to give it just a bit more body, and that worked great! Thank you so much for the pattern!
At last… was so excited to see this was up and immediately bought it… Here's the one I did.. http://www.arlyna.com/blogs/
I posted a couple I made on my blog today. http://elmo-lifescraps.blogspot.com/2009/11/friday-already.html
WoooHoooo! Rae – I did it!!! I havent made anything for years! I started a quilt last January and am still making it (but that's cool, its not forgotten, just taking a while!)but other than that, its just been shortening my curtains! I made my bag with the offcuts of said curtains and some fabric I bought last year to start the quilt with (ended up buying a kit for the quilt cos I got scared!). Have to say that this came together like a dream. I cant wait to start decorating it – but could use it as it is now!
thanks so much for sharing your skills with us all!

PS will post it up soon – just need to go and do tea now!
Rae Here is my post on my blog for your Lickety Split bag.

I love this pattern! I have made many bags out of it, and had a sewing party where I helped my friends make their own bags as well.
Thanks!
So… now I want to make bags to sell on Etsy, but I already own the pattern… so is there a way to buy the license to sell WITHOUT the price of the pattern? I'd really prefer not paying $12 on a license+pattern when I've already paid for the pattern…
Let me know if there's some way for me to buy only the license.
I love this bag! I think I'll switch up the fabrics to suit my moods and make a few more. Thank you!

Hello
I purchase the lickety split bag pattern about a year ago for my own personal use….I was wondering if I might be able to just pay you now for being able to make a few of them and sell them on my etsy shop? Could I send you the $10 extra dollars now to do that, or do I need to re-order the whole thing? Thanks so much….this bag is awesome!
