Gilbert Clip-On Dog Walking Bag – Printed Sewing Pattern & Instructions

GILBERT is a compact clip-on dog walking bag that fastens straight onto a lead, belt loop or bag strap with a lobster clasp, so your hands stay free on every walk. A grommet set into the front pocket lets poop bags pull through one at a time, and both the front pocket and the main compartment close with magnetic clasps.
