PLEASE NOTE: This pattern consists mostly of rectangle shapes, therefore, there are only 2 printable pattern pieces. The remaining pieces are cut to measurement to save on paper and avoiding a very large document. If you intend to make this bag often, I recommend preparing your own templates out of card stock or something similar.
SUPPLIES:
Exterior fabric:
- 1/2 yard waxed canvas or cotton fabric
- 1/4 yard cork or vinyl (you can use fabric if you prefer)
- OPTIONAL: 40” of 1.5” Webbing for HANDLE
Lining fabric: 1 yard quilt weight cotton
Note: all fabric quantities will vary depending on fabric width and fabric print (for fussy cutting).
Interfacing:*
- 1/2 - 1 yard fusible fleece (46” wide)
- 4-6 yards fusible woven interfacing (20” wide)
- 11” W x 4.75” H Peltex or similar
*quantities of interfacing vary significantly depending on whether you are using waxed canvas or fabric for your bag’s exterior
Notions and supplies:
- (2) 1.5” swivel clasps
- (1) 1.5” rectangle slide
- (2) 1” D-rings
- (2) 14” zippers
- (1) 8” zipper (#3 dress zipper)
- (1) metal zipper end
- OPTIONAL: Rivets
Measurements: 11” W x 14.5” H x 5” D
SEWING EXPERIENCE: This project is suitable for an intermediate sewist. Preparation time will likely take the longest because construction is fairly straightforward, consisting mostly of straight lines. It will take approximately 5-6 hours for your first, less time for subsequent bags.
