Features:

​

• Large, 19" x 40", bag with pockets made of 7 oz cotton/polyester twill fabric.  It is designed to hang over a heavy duty hanger. Durable enough to last for many years of productions - even with the most rambunctious actors.  Hand made in the USA.

• Each bag customized with an easily readable ID number - each bag will have a number on the bag itself and the detachable laundry bag.  When you order the bag - please tell us what numbers to use (# 1-99).

• Window pocket to hold a ‘Ditty Bag Card’ printed from the Theatre Inventory Database (Productions Reports / Performance Management).  The card will have the assigned ID number, performer’s name, the role name, all the costume pieces that belong to the Ensemble plus a photo from the Ensemble record.

• Small mesh pocket - for small items like jewelry, bow tie, handkerchiefs, etc.  There is a snap in the middle to secure it.

• Large fabric pocket - for belts, ties, clean socks, clean t-shirt, etc.

• Large, detachable mesh laundry bag to hold dirty socks, undergarments, etc.  It is fastened with snaps so it can be removed and the contents washed and dried in the bag.  Once it is out of the laundry it can be re-attached to the correct Ditty Bag as it has the same number.

• Shoe pockets - for 2 pairs of shoes.

• The back has a slit opening so a performer can hang their street clothes inside.

• A custom “Property Of ...” tag on the back where your school/theatre name, phone # or website can be printed. (Give us printing instructions with your order.)

• Easy-to-clean bag - just Hand or Machine Wash - Gentle with Cold Water and line dry. Remember, the window pocket can’t handle the dryer heat!

​

** Please note - these bags are hand sewn and customized for your school / theatre.  Please allow 6-10 days for us to apply your ID numbers and Property of labels after you order.  Large orders of 15 bags or more are shipped by Fed Ex Ground - which requires 4-5 business days before delivery.

The Ultimate Ditty Bag Kit !!

All you need is a sewing machine (and serger is recommended), basic sewing tools (scissors, marking pencil, pins) and thread.  The sewing instructions are easy to follow.  There are quite a few steps as there are many pockets but most seamstresses with good sewing skills can put together a bag in a few (3) hours.  Contact us if you have questions.
