Leah Travel Bag Pattern by Cristy Stuhldreher- Love You Sew "The Leah Travel Bag is a roomy mid-size backpack and purse inspired by vintage airplane bags with it’s boxystructure and plentiful pockets. The silhouette has been updated with modern features and lots of options for anybag maker. View A is a boxy backpack with a front pocket compartment that doubles as a built-in wallet andincludes a security flap. View B is the homage to vintage with an adjustable crossbody strap and piping detail. This view is also a project bag with elastic slots in the front compartment for tools and a back grommet hole for on-the-go fiber crafts. All views include a back slip pocket, an interior welt zipper pocket, interior divided slip pocket, and exterior side slip pockets for cell phones. There are triangle rings built into the handle to hold both the strap option and/or any additional accessories, like keys and bag charms. All of these options can be mixed and matched to create your own custom bag! In this pattern, you will learn how to create accordion gussets for an expandable zipper pocket, make a card slot lining, create five different pocket views, & use varying hardware for different looks. You will learn a bias tape interior finish which also aids in Leah’s structure. As an Intermediate Beginner pattern, you must have experience working with zipper by-the-yard, installing snaps & sewing through thick seams. This pattern was written for home decor and/or bottom weight fabrics such as cotton canvas, duck cloth, and denim with weights of ~6-8 oz/sq yard. The Lining is based on quilt cotton and woven fabric with similar weights of ~4 oz/sq yard, such as linen or chambray. The layers can begin to add up (especially in View B with the piping,) so make sure your machine can handle the fabric thicknesses. The card slots and interior slip pocket layers can get bulky, so a crisp ripstop or lightweight waterproof canvas (WPC) can also be used without the aid of interfacing.
