Description:
• Fully lined
• Internal zipped pocket
• Internal slip pocket
• Full width external pocket with concealed zip
• Full width external open pocket.
• The main fastening is a zip fastening
• There is an internal “O” ring on a loop (for keys etc)
• It has a detachable strap (adjusts from 88cm-146cm). This can be permanently attached if you prefer.
• It can be worn with either the MAIN or CONTRAST fabric forming the flap, so gives two different looks.
I originally designed this bag to be made from two fabrics – Harris tweed and a contrasting fabric – for my Intermediate workshops. So, it includes a good range of techniques for someone who wants to extend their skills.
Finished size 23cm high x 31cm wide as worn, folded over at the top, 34cm high x 31cm when lying flat.
It is suitable for people with sewing experience but if you take it a stage at a time, it is not too difficult. It is also suitable to be adapted for leather/suede – see green/black photos – but I’d recommend this option only if you have experience of working with these materials.
You need 9 sheets of A4 paper to print off this pattern.
