Mary Poppins Storybag Felt Panel SAL

Getting Ready

The Mary Poppins Storybag Felt Panel Sew Along begins March 4, 2026, and I am so excited to stitch this one together.

This felt panel is designed to create a storybook-style playmat bag filled with characters, accessories, and imaginative details. Over four weeks, we will cut, embellish, assemble, and finish a beautiful keepsake that encourages storytelling and hands-on play.



You can find the Mary Poppins Storybag Felt Panel at your favorite local quilt shop, or shop limited quantities through Sew A Story. SHOP HERE

What We Will Be Doing Each Week

Here is a simple look at our four-week plan:

Week 1 – March 4
Cut felt characters and accessories and sort them by theme.

Week 2 – March 11
Embroider and embellish felt characters. Begin backing with stabilizer and craft felt.

Week 3 – March 18
Assemble the playmat bag, including handles, lining, and seams.

Week 4 – March 25
Add closures, trim edges, and finish optional details

Supplies You Will Need

Here are the main supplies to gather before we begin:

Needed Supplies

• (1) Mary Poppins Storybag Felt Panel
• Quilty Hemostat or turning tool
• Plastic snaps or Velcro for bag closure
  
  
  

Optional Supplies

• HeatnBond Craft Extra Firm Non-Woven Fusible Stabilizer
• 36" x 48" white craft felt for backing
• Embroidery floss for embellishments
• Sparkle Paste or small trims
• Hand sewing needle and thread
• Ribbon for optional charm

If you plan to embellish your dolls with embroidery or sparkle details, now is a great time to choose thread colors and trims.

A Few Helpful Notes

• Read through the instructions before starting.
• If using fusible stabilizer, test a small scrap first. Heat can melt acrylic felt.
• Keep your pieces organized by character or scene. This will make Week 2 much smoother.
