VIDEO TUTORIAL INCLUDED ONLY WITH THE PURCHASE OF THE PATTERN
Corduroy bag pattern with two pockets and adjustable straps: simple, practical, and perfect for beginners.
In this post, I present the new step-by-step tutorial to make a practical, modern, and very easy-to-sew corduroy bag. Throughout the video, you can follow every detail of the process,from cutting the pieces to the final assembly, so you can create your own bag even if you are a beginner at sewing. I sewed this pattern using upholstery corduroy for its structure and body, but it is also perfect for any other fabric with similar characteristics so it keeps its shape. For the lining, I used a matching poplin fabric.
If you are reading this, it’s because you love simple designs with a special touch that makes them different, just like I do. You’ll see that this pattern has this feature and more, which I’ll explain below:
- The detail of the strap tucked behind the flap allows you to adjust the length in an original and practical way.
- It includes two zippered pockets that extend across the entire width of the bag, offering a very spacious storage area.
- On one side, the flap discreetly hides one of the pockets,ideal for keeping items you want to carry more securely.
- The two side zipper pulls make opening the zipper smooth and easy.
- The straps have adjusters to modify the length,allowing you to wear the bag either on the shoulder or crossbody, according to your preference.
Best of all, this is a simple and very accessible pattern,perfect for beginners as well as for those who enjoy quick and satisfying projects. All the materials I used are easy to find, and the tutorial includes simple techniques that you can follow without any difficulty.
