Sewing bags is easy, with patterns with photos and illustrations to guide you through each step. The Coffee House Bag pattern is truly the most customizable pattern ever. It features interchangeable flaps (yes---you can change out the front flap to suit your mood or outfit), plus interchangeable straps, three zipper pockets, and one vinyl pocket.
This sewing pattern is written with clear instructions on every step, lots of color photos, and digitally drawn diagrams and illustrations to help you every step of the way. There is a Video Walk-Through link inside the pattern as well.
VINYL works great on this bag - including using it for the body, flaps, and even the strap.
Finished bag size is approx 12" x 10.5" x 2.5"
