Coffee House Bag PDF sewing pattern

Sewing bags is easy, with patterns with photos and illustrations to guide you through each step. The Coffee House Bag pattern is truly the most customizable pattern ever. It features interchangeable flaps (yes---you can change out the front flap to suit your mood or outfit), plus interchangeable straps, three zipper pockets, and one vinyl pocket. 

This sewing pattern is written with clear instructions on every step, lots of color photos, and digitally drawn diagrams and illustrations to help you every step of the way. 

VINYL works great on this bag - including using it for the body, flaps, and even the strap. Cork, Canvas, upholstery fabrics, and quilting cotton ALL work great for this bag. 

Finished bag size is approx 12" x 10.5" x 2.5"

Materials needed:

1 YD exterior fabric (less if you are ok with piecing your gusset. If using vinyl or cork, 1 roll will work (18x56).

1 YD lining fabric (same as above)

1/2 YD coordinating fabric

(3) pocket zippers 8" length or longer

(1) magnetic closure *I prefer 3/4" size / or sub your preferred closure

SF101 woven interfacing 2 YDS if using the most readily available 20" width

Foam interfacing is optional 1 YD  *Usually, I don't need this if I'm using vinyl or cork for my exterior

(2) D-rings 3/4" width

(1) sewable leather strap 3/4" found here

Scrap of 10 gauge clear vinyl (1) piece 5" SQ if making the pocket; if making a vinyl flap you'll need an additional piece at least 12" x 12"
