I love the way this bag looks in waxed canvas, and more experienced sewists may want to give cork or vinyl a try. If this is your first bag, or you’re using a domestic sewing machine, cotton may be a better option. Whatever fabrics you decide to use, make sure they’re suitable for your sewing machine. For domestic machines, cotton is usually the easiest fabric to work with.
6” tall x 11 ½” wide x 2 ¾” deep [15.25cm x 29cm x 7cm]
- Two options for D-ring tabs
- Two cute exterior pockets
- Adjustable crossbody strap

We work hard to keep our website safe and secure. All our patterns are uploaded to the website free of malicious content (obviously), and we have high end security on our website to prevent attacks from outside forces. We use a fantastic and reputable local company to manage the security of our website. However secure a website is though, there is always a risk that it can be hacked (as proven by some of the biggest companies in the world being hacked in recent years). If criminals hack into a website, they may manage to embed malicious content into a website and its files, without the owners knowledge. It's also possible for PDF files to become infected/corrupted once they are on your device, in your possession, which is completely out of our control. For that reason, we ask that you also take precautions before and after downloading a pattern, just to be extra safe.

If in doubt, seek guidance from an experienced professional of the tools you are using or contact the manufacturer directly.

The instructions in this pattern are suggestions only and you are responsible for ensuring that you can carry out the suggestions safely without causing injury or harm to yourself or others. You are also responsible for ensuring that your sewing machine and other equipment are capable of carrying out the suggestions.
