###PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A PDF INSTANT DOWNLOAD SEWING PATTERN AND NOT A FINISHED ITEM. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD YOUR PATTERN AS SOON AS PAYMENT HAS BEEN PROCESSED###
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!
+++Although there is a template for the lid and the base (see the disclaimer below), this is mostly a measure and cut pattern which means that you don’t have too many 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.
I wish that I could go back to the time when going on a train was a bit of an event and people had special luggage for the occasion. Well that might not be possible but we can at least bring the luggage from that time to the present day. Number one on my list is a train case. Perfect for cosmetics or jewellery or even an on-the-go craft tote. This little case is not at all difficult (much easier than it looks) and you get two sizes! I guarantee you will want to make more than just one. Happy days!
These cases are softly padded with a light, structural foam which means that the interfacing needed is minimal and yet a professional finish is easier to achieve. I love to have bags like this in my house for an alternative storage option so if your compartment on the Orient Express is not happening anytime soon, you can still get the feel for it.
Pattern Rating: intermediate sewist with some knowledge assumed.
Finished Sizes: the smaller (mustard) version is 7” tall x 9” wide x 7” deep and the larger, flatter version (the black and white) is 4 ¾” tall x 10 ½” wide x 9” deep.
Suggested Fabrics: quilting weight cotton, denim, canvas, furnishing fabrics, linen, needle cord
Gather these supplies:
Fabric:
½ yd. nice canvas or similar weight fabric for the outer
¾ yd. lining fabric (to allow for making bias binding)
FQ (Fat Quarter) solid fabric for the outer binding trim
TIP: you will actually have some fabric over from a ½ yd. but it is still a pretty good way to buy your fabric. Build your stash with the leftovers.
Interfacing:
½ yd. Style-vil foam interfacing (Vlieseline) or By Annie's Soft & Stable
Everything Else:
23” #5 double zipper. I have used a piece of continuous zipper and added two zipper pulls back to back
NB: if you are using a continuous zipper, cut 1 1/2" longer than stated to allow for the zipper end tapes.
Swivel clip to match your zipper. If your zipper teeth are gold, then opt for that.
Something to make the tassel – you can use leather or vegan leather, cork, felt
6 ½”x 1 ¼” wide cotton webbing to match your fabrics and zip
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!
Disclaimer: This is one of my few patterns with a template. It is only for the lid and base ovals (they are a little tricky). The rest of the pattern is measure and cut. I just wanted to let you know up front that the templates may not be what you might be expecting- in the true spirit of old-school designing, the template is precisely HAND drawn. This does not affect its quality or function. It fits together 100% perfectly and a lot of people have bought and made this pattern successfully and beautifully. There is a sizing square on the template to help you to size it just right when you print. I love the organic and creative feeling that this gives me. The pattern really is hand made.
Due to the nature of PDF patterns, I cannot offer refunds 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, especially now. #standwithsmall
