***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 PROVIDED 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. I
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!
All measurements are in INCHES.
Sewing a bag is not a rodeo – no one wants a rough ride! The Devon Tote ushers in a new series of Folk Art Factory bags with all the nice details but made even easier.
This bag is perfect for occasions where you have a bit to carry but you want style too. And it is perfect as a project tote! I love the way that it sits open so that you can access the contents but when you pick it up by the handles, it closes for security. There is some magic at work!
Best of all, it has a lovely divider pocket which is perfect for carrying precious things which need some extra security. There is a separate tutorial on that one over on my blog too and it is actually easier to make than you think.
Pattern Rating: confident beginner to intermediate sewist with some knowledge assumed. This pattern comes with some handy printable labels to help you to keep track of the pattern pieces.
Finished Size: 11 ½” wide x 11 ½” tall x 3 ½” deep
Suggested Fabrics: quilting weight cotton, denim, canvas, furnishing fabrics, linen, needle cord, waxed cotton, oilcloth
Gather these supplies:
Fabric:
½ yd. canvas or similar weight fabric for the outer
1 ¼ yd. cotton for the lining (I am using two different fabrics for my lining because I really wanted to use that floral one and I didn’t have enough. You will need 1 ¼ yd. overall)
Interfacing:
1 yd. Style-vil foam interfacing (Vlieseline) or by Annie's Soft & Stable
14” H630 lightweight fusible fleece (Vlieseline) or Bosal #326LF
14” G740 woven fusible interfacing (Vlieseline) orPellon 860F Ultra Weft
Everything Else:
2 pieces cotton webbing, 1 ½” wide x 9 ½” long for the handles
1x ½” stud for the front pocket and the hardware to attach it
1x 12” (#5) zipper for the divider pocket. I am using a continuous zipper for this and if you are too, allow 1 ½” longer to account for the seam allowance.
3” wide x 8” long very thin leather or vegan leather for the handle trim
Clear drying glue suitable for fabric
Double sided tape to attach the leather trim to the handle. Wash away, double sided quilters tape works well too my testers tell me.
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). Consider a leather needle for your machine if you are using that option. You know, the usual stuff!
TIP: a Walking (Dual Feed) foot for your machine is also handy to get over some of the thicker layers. Some machines come with them so have a rummage around in that box of bits that you rarely use….
This pattern is super detailed. You will receive 16 pages with 20 easy to see colour photos to illustrate the steps, a companion blog post to help with the zipper divider pocket and handy printable labels to help you to keep track of the pattern pieces. 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 carefully. Thank you so much for your understanding.
