***THIS IS A PDF SEWING PATTERN AND NOT A FINISHED ARTICLE. YOUR PATTERN WILL BE AVAILABLE TO YOU AS SOON AS 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.
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!
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 .
All measurements are in INCHES
A backpack which converts to a tote is always a great idea and it offers a practical solution for every day. I wanted to make the adjustable backpack strap as unfussy as possible and I have found a way! All that is needed is a length of webbing and some clever hardware placement. The Pennine Way (named after a walking trail in the dividing range of mountains in Northern England) has pockets too and a nice secure zipper top with a bound finish which will take you from country to town in a heartbeat.
Pattern Rating: Intermediate sewist with some knowledge assumed. There is also a handy printable label sheet for you to help keep track of the pattern pieces.
Finished size: 16 ½” tall x 17” wide (top) 11" wide (bottom) x 6” deep
Suggested Fabrics: quilting weight cotton, denim, canvas, furnishing fabrics, linen, needle cord
Fabric:
½ yd. canvas for the main outer
12” oilcloth for the outer base trim. If this is hard to find where you are, waterproof canvas is a good option too.
¾ yd. lining fabric. Pure cotton is always best
Interfacing:
1 yd. Style-vil foam interfacing (Vlieseline) or By Annie's Soft & Stable
Fat Eighth S320 fusible interfacing (Vlieseline), alternatively, Pellon Craft Fuse
Everything Else:
19 ½” #5 zipper for the top zip
5” #5 zipper for the front outer pocket (if using continuous, you need 7”)
7” #3 plastic zipper for an internal zipper box pocket
4 ½ yds. x 1” wide cotton webbing for the main strap, the top handles and the D ring tabs
Scrap of thin leather or vegan leather for the handle trim. You need less than a Fat Eighth but this is a handy size to buy.
3x 1” D rings
3x 1” swivel clips
2x 1” strap adjusters
Something to decorate the zipper pulls. I love a long piece of leather or vegan leather (about ¼” wide x 10-12” long). You can also use ribbon, baker’s twine or a metal charm. You will usually have enough off-cut from the handle trims
Clear drying glue or some other fray stopper for treating the ends of the webbing
Double sided tape
Coordinating threads for all fabrics and trims
Your usual sewing needs including scissors, markers, and extra feet for your sewing machine (zipper foot for example). You know, the usual stuff!
Due to the nature of PDF patterns, I cannot offer a refund so please choose carefully. Thank you so much for your understanding.
Thank you so much for buying my pattern! It means the world to me.
