DS-085 The Binnacle Bag Digital Pattern

This is a PDF pattern to create a leather cross-body bag with a zipper - The Binnacle Bag. The leather template includes a pattern to make an adjustable leather strap or you can use a purse chain of various lengths for a lighter stylish carry. Alternatively, you can make a fixed-length leather strap using the included patterns. The Binnacle Bag is a turned bag. This means it is stitched with its flesh side out and then turned inside out – this reveals the grain side of the leather and ‘hides’ the stitches on the inside of the bag. Designed for a cross-body and on-shoulder carry, The Binnacle Bag is compact, yet it can pack a ton and is perfect for everyday use. Have fun making The Binnacle Bag!
