Swoosh Bag 2.0

A more advanced version of the Swoosh Bag - which addes depth to the bag using a bottom piece and side gussets - as well as an interior zipper pocket. If you are brand new to bag making I would suggest the original version of this bag first before moving on to this one.

Before beginning, make sure you have the following:

This download of the pattern pieces - print them on card stock, MEASURE THE TEST SQUARE to make sure it is one inch before cutting out your pieces.
-Two zippers - I use number 5 nylon zipper which I purchase by the yard and cut to size - one should be at least 8 inches end to end and the other should be at least twelve inches or longer.
-Two half inch d rings
-Two swivel clips for your cross body strap, the size of which will be your preference

And the following pieces cut:

-From the main rectangle piece: 2 exterior vinyl (or interfaced fabric if you prefer) 3 lining (yes THREE - one will be your zipper pocket) I use waterproof canvas for lining

-From the pocket piece: 1 exterior 1 lining

-Two strap connector pieces out of your exterior

-One binding piece about 1x10 inches (at this size, the binding piece has to be vinyl - if you wanted to use fabric it would need to be twice as wide so you could double fold it to hide the raw edges).

-From the bottom piece: 1 exterior 1 lining

-From the side gusset piece: 2 exterior 2 lining

-You’ll also cut a strap to your desired length and width which I’ll discuss in the part 2 video of this tutorial.
