This is one of our oldest patterns so please be aware the layout is different to our newer patterns. The pattern pieces are all rectangles and can be cut from the cutting chart without any need to print. However, we've included a separate file for printable pattern pieces if you wish to use it. This pattern is priced lower than our others as it's an older pattern, and not as detailed as our newer ones.

This is one of our older patterns so the video isn't as crisp as our new ones, but I'll still walk you through every step of the process.
Three interior slip pockets
For the “exterior”, I recommend cotton or canvas (7oz/200gsm+). If using a heavier material like vinyl or leather, make sure your machine can
handle the multiple layers. For the “contrast” and “lining” use a quilting cotton.
If using waxed cotton, do not use it for the contrast fabric as it doesn’t work well with the strap design. I recommend a Microtex needle. Use
clips instead of pins and use a hairdryer on a very low heat to remove creases. Do not press waxed fabrics with an iron. Instead, where the pattern
calls for pressing, use your fingers.

I recommend reading and following the safety instructions provided by the manufacturer of each tool.

If in doubt, seek guidance from an experienced professional of the tools you are using or contact the manufacturer directly. You are responsible for ensuring that you have a safe and suitable working environment. 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. I cannot be held accountable for damage caused because the tools used are unsuitable.
