Qualicum Bag - PDF Sewing Pattern

Specs and Material Requirements

A comprehensive two-tone bag design that features all of the details necessary to make a high-end finished product. This handsomely proportioned tote is wide enough to carry a laptop, deep enough to function as a diaper bag, and sturdy enough to stand up to the wear and tear of everyday use. There are three variations included: The Laptop Bag (featuring a padded interior sleeve), The Carry-all (replacing the sleeve with two elasticated pockets), and the Simple Tote (which utilizes webbing as straps and forgoes most inner and outer pockets). Details from all variations can be mix and matched to create the ideal custom bag.

Some of the useful components include two large side pockets for water bottles, a zippered front pocket, three back pockets (one featuring a flap to secure your phone where it can be easily accessed), a recessed top zipper closure, a detachable cross-body strap, shoulder straps, a full lining, and an inner zippered pocket. Depending on the details selected, this bag can be a very quick or a very involved project.

Instructions are thorough: They will assist you to pair your fabric with the correct interfacing (so a wide range of fabric weights can be used), aid in the creation of perfect topstitching (even on long straps), provide tips for precise zipper installation, and suggest finishing details to give a very professional look to the bag.
