This bag is designed so you can throw everything in it for a day out. It’s got a slouchy, relaxed feel, perfect for the beach. Kynsa comes from the Cornish word for “first” or “initial”. This is Adam’s first fabric pattern so we thought it was a fitting name. We recommend this pattern as suitable for ambitious beginners. It doesn’t include any curves or zips, so everything is quite straight-forward. We recommend watching the video tutorial linked below if this is one of your first bags!
Fabric Recommendations:
Cotton, canvas, cork, vinyl or leather. Your chosen fabrics should be suitable for the capabilities of your sewing machine. If using a basic domestic sewing machine, we recommend using cotton or canvas for your first bag.
