***This is a PDF sewing pattern and not a finished product. The pattern will be available for instant download as soon as your payment has been processed.
+++This is a measure and cut pattern which means that there are NO TEMPLATES to print off and match up- Yay! You need a rotary cutter, ruler and mat and you can cut the pattern pieces straight from the fabric. This is easier than it sounds because the pieces are all simple squares and rectangles.
All measurements are in INCHES.
This pattern comes with an extra PDF to help you to identify the front pocket pieces. Please note that this is for illustration only and is not to scale. Not all of the components occur in every pattern and it is not specific to this particular pattern. It is only there to help .
When you buy this pattern, you have my permission to make this bag to sell- no mass production allowed of course but a few to sell at craft fairs or online, that sort of thing is fine. All I ask is that you credit me as the designer. I wish you all the success in the world with sales!
No one wants to invoke the yuppie demons of the 1980s – you know the ones, the go-getters who always had a black leather briefcase in their hand (I suspect that they slept with it too). A bit like the Queen’s famous handbags but with a house brick sized mobile inside.
But what if we need to take a laptop somewhere or tote some papers to a meeting? Well we can lay the big hair, car phones and shoulder pads permanently to rest and make something a little less aggressive! Enter the Mayfair – the briefcase update. You can use this just as you would a classic briefcase – laptop, papers and important ‘I must not forget these’ documents can all be safely carried. It fits a lot inside but takes up almost no room at all. And not a Dynasty cast member in sight! Bliss.
Pattern Rating: intermediate sewist with some knowledge assumed. This pattern comes with some handy printable labels to help you to keep track of the pieces.
Finished Size: 13 ½” wide x 10 ¼” tall x 1 ½” deep
Suggested Fabrics: quilting weight cotton, denim, canvas, furnishing fabrics, linen, needle cord, waxed cotton, oilcloth

½ yd. second canvas for the exterior (canvas B)
¾ yd. coordinating 100% cotton fabric for lining

Interfacing:
½ yd.- ¾ yd. foam interfacing. I recommend Style-vil foam interfacing by Vlieseline or By Annie's Soft & Stable
Fat eighth thin fusible interfacing for the internal pockets. My favourite is G740 fusible interfacing by Vlieseline. You could also use Pellon 860F Ultra Weft
