Lucy's 3-in-1 kraft-tex Bag Pattern

1 pattern, 3 sizes, unlimited possibilities This versatile and stylish bag comes in three sizes: small, medium, and large weekender—perfect for those overnight trips (fits carry-on luggage requirements)! Play with 2 different colors of kraft-tex and customize the interchangeable band with outside zipper pockets, inside passport pockets, and even knitting needle holders! Or add elastic straps and use the band by itself to carry your yoga mat or picnic blanket. The clever zipper treatment allows each of the three bags to open wide, making finding your necessities a breeze. Includes advice and tips on sewing and handling kraft-tex. • Mix and match your bands to customize your look and use (small and medium bags use the same size band!) • Experiment with kraft-tex, a popular new substrate that all accessory sewists are talking about! • Carry heavy loads without tearing—unique band construction is both lightweight and sturdy • Finished medium bag 15" x 9 1/2" x 7 3/4"; large weekender bag 22" x 11 3/4" x 9 1/2"; small bag 9" x 9 1/2" x 7 3/4"
