The Dawn Bag - Digital Sewing Pattern

Briefcase meets casual crossbody! The intention for this bag was to have the perfect sized crossbody for carrying my daily items as well as my ipad, for "on-the-go" designing. 

This bag includes a large exterior slip pocket on the front and two mini slip pockets on the back, a place to hang a charm or tassel (or in my case, to hook my sunglasses to), a roomy interior zipper pocket, and a small interior slip pocket - the perfect size for your earbuds or smaller items that tend to get lost in the bottom of larger bags.

While it was designed to be made with vinyl and waterproof canvas, it works just as well in interfaced fabric! The boxed top corners give you a clean and beautiful top zipper with no need for zipper tabs or stops, and give the bag the perfect depth from bottom to top. No wasted space in this bag!

The Dawn bag measures approximately 11" Wide X 9.5" Tall X 3.5" Deep.
