Polperro Roll Case

***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.

I have rather deliberately not aimed this case at anyone in particular – I originally conceived the idea for my art materials but then I decided that it would be fabulous for knitting or crochet tools too. And make-up! What about make-up brushes, bits and pieces! And let’s not forget the men in our lives – this is the sort of handy case that they might find useful too. Thinking fishing and tools etc.

So let me just say that this is a really useful roll case in two sizes and I am pretty sure that you will find a use for one somewhere. This pattern is shown with lovely hard-wearing dry oilskin but it would be awesome in a canvas too. There is actually no extra lining fabric needed and no interfacing- most scandalously unusual for one of my patterns! The result is a hardy little workhorse that can follow you everywhere.

Pattern Rating: intermediate sewist with some knowledge and bag making experience assumed. This pattern comes with some handy printable labels to help you to keep track of the pieces. Simply print them off, cut them out and pin to the pieces as you cut them out.

Fabric:

3⁄4 yd. (1⁄2 yd.) dry oilskin. I am using a lightweight version to help minimise bulk

Rivets to match your hardware

7” wide x 12” (7” wide x 10” long) long piece of thin leather or vegan leather for trims

TIP: if your sewing machine is not a heavy duty one and you are worried about sewing leather, you are better off opting for either vegan leather or another non- fraying option like cork or some of the heavy duty paper ‘leathers’.

Leather hole punch

Strong thread to hand sew the strap on

Your usual sewing needs including scissors, markers, hardware setting tools and extra feet for your sewing machine (zipper foot for example). You know, the usual stuff!

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 is super detailed. You will receive 17 pages with 20 easy to see colour photos to illustrate the steps and handy printable labels to help you to keep track of the pattern pieces. Simply print them off, cut the labels out and pin them to the fabric piece as you cut. You will find the labels on a separate PDF so if you choose to print double sided to save paper, you will not lose any of your pattern. 

Due to the nature of PDF patterns, I cannot offer refunds so please choose and read everything carefully. Thank you so much for your understanding.
