Skill Level: This is an intermediate pattern, in that it uses advanced bag making techniques that require the sewer to have a general familiarity with bag making. It requires accurate cutting/sewing and installing a curved side gusset which can be challenging for new sewers.

Finished Dimensions: Approximately 11” wide by 11½” high and 5½” deep. Straps are cut 40” long and fully adjustable with a convenient grab handle along the top. It features 1 exterior vertical zipper pocket along the back for easy access to your cellphone while the bag is being worn, and inside has a slip pocket, zippered pocket, and a bottle sleeve. This bag has a drop in lining.
