PDF Sewing pattern for The Evelyn cross body bag with anti-theft coin purse

*** INSTANT DOWNLOAD PDF PATTERN ***

 

This pattern shows you how to easily make a beautiful cross-body bag with detachable anti-theft purse. It has an adjustable cross-body strap and magnetic snap closure. A generous size, great for everyday use, large enough to accommodate an iPad and all your essentials. Great as a stylish diaper bag.

 

Fully lined throughout with a feature phone pocket on the front. The instructions walk you through, in simple steps, how to construct the roomy box cornered bag and cute detachable purse including how to create adjustable webbing straps, and attaching magnetic clasp closures.

 

Skill level: Confident beginner. This is an easy pattern

Approximate finished dimensions:
10.25 x 8.75 inches (26 x 22 cm)

 

I made this example up in wool tweed, but it is suitable for most medium weight fabrics including tweeds, denim and medium weight cottons.
Make from just half a yard each outer and lining.

Please note: the Craggan and Evelyn are the same sewing pattern, just photographed in different fabrics suitable for men or women.

 

24 pages of full colour tutorial style instructions with detailed photos will walk you through making a professional looking bag in no time.

Description

The Evelyn Messenger bag pattern . PDF Bag sewing pattern.

You will need:
 Outer fabric 0.5m (1/2yd) – Medium weight fabric of your choice – furnishing fabric weights work well tweed or denims too. You can use cotton sheeting prints, but add a layer of medium weight fusible interlining to add a bit of substance
 Lining 0.5m (1/2yd) – Any light weight fabric of your choice. Use a contrasting print or a striking plain colour.
 Medium fusible interlining 0.25m (1/4 yd) – I use Vilene F220
 Fusible compressed fleece 0.5m (1/2yd) – I use Vilene Thermolam one side fusible, which gives a bit of squishy bulk too. Fusible foam also works well.
 Magnetic clasp – 18mm
 1.5” wide Cotton webbing 68 inch (170cm) to make the strap or a pre-made bought strap if you prefer
 2 x 1.5” square rings and slider to make the strap, or 2 x 1.5” D rings if you are using a detachable bought strap.
 18” (46cm) leather or faux leather strapping half inch (1.25cm) wide. You could use contrast ribbon if preferred
 A half inch (1.25cm) lobster clasp
 All Purpose thread to match outer
