👜 Shoulder Bag — PDF Sewing Pattern
16.5 × 31.5 × 7.5 cm (6.5 × 12.5 × 3 in) • Two front flap pockets • Fully lined • Confident beginner • 2–3 hours
Two evenings, one bag — and the second one takes less. There is no zip, no hardware to source and no fitting: two front pockets with flaps, a boxed base so it stands up, one strap, and a lining that hides every raw edge. The seam allowance is already in the pattern, so you cut on the line.
The two pockets are what make it look designed rather than improvised. They break up the front, they give the flaps somewhere to sit, and they are the only place in the whole bag where you have to be accurate — which is a good place to practise.
