Requirements
MATERIALS:
*Exterior fabric: 45 cm (½ yard) of 112cm (44”) wide fabric.
*Piece of contrast fabric: 71cm X 30cm (28”X 12”) (optional).
*Lining fabric: 110cm (43”) of 112cm (44”) wide fabric.
*Fusible interfacing: mid-weight, 40cm (16”) of 112cm (44”) wide interfacing (the narrower Pellon Shape-Flex SF101 is a good choice, but you will need about 1 yard if you go that route).
*ByAnnie’s Soft & Stable: 46cm X 91cm (18” X 36”) (or substitute with Headliner Foam; you can also use fusible fleece, however, you will end up with a bag that is more floppy).
*Matching thread (I use Nylon Upholstery thread for pleather and Gutermann Polyester for quilting cotton).
NOTIONS:
*1 X 36cm (14”) zipper or longer, cut to size for your recessed zipper.
*1 X 28cm (11”) zipper for the inner Divider Pocket (or longer cut to size).
*2 X readymade adjustable straps: I used 15mm (⅝”) wide, adjustable from 39cm to 55cm (15⅜”to 21⅝’”) (Or you can make your own if you prefer!).
*4 X metal round or oval shaped eyelets: minimum inner diameter measurements – 15mm (⅝”) or to suit your straps.
*4 X 12mm (½”) purse feet.
*OPTIONAL: 2 X 30.5cm (12”) cable ties (recommended for stabilising your zipper divider pocket) or you can use boning too!
*OPTIONAL: 6mm (¼”) Wash Away Wonder Tape.
*OPTIONAL: 6mm (¼”) Cold Tape (see pattern notes).
*OPTIONAL : (if using quilting cotton for exterior) additional fusible interfacing: mid-weight, 40cm (16”) of 112cm (44”) wide interfacing (Pellon Shape-Flex SF101 is a good choice but you will need about 1 yard in that case).
Daryl –
Nice tote style bag with lots of pockets and a recessed zipper closure make this a great bag to have. You can add the zippered divider pocket inside too if you want to divide your bag inside.
The instructions are easy to follow.

I just finished my first one and I LOVE THIS PATTERN! There were a bunch of new things I wanted to learn – how to make the center zipper pouch and how to make an zipper inset that I actually liked. This bag has both! The instructions are easy to understand and the finished bag looks great. I made my “prototype” out of 2 pairs of dress pants I no longer wore (I didn’t want to ruin good fabric on my first attempt) – I’m going to carry this one – turned out way better than I anticipated. Thank you!!! This is my favorite bag pattern now!
