THIS IS A PDF SEWING PATTERN - NOT A FINISHED BAG. There are no refunds for PDF downloads.
This bag was designed with one purpose in mind, carrying your book simply and beautifully.
It’s perfectly sized for a Bible or similar book, with just enough extra room to fit a notebook and a few essentials without feeling oversized. There’s also an interior zip pocket that’s ideal for pens, highlighters, or small items you like to keep tucked away and easy to find.
The shape is structured, so it holds everything neatly in place and carries comfortably. It’s the kind of bag you reach for when you want something dedicated and intentional, rather than a catch-all tote.
The construction uses a binding method to finish the seams, giving the inside a clean, polished look. It’s a really satisfying technique if you enjoy attention to detail and want your finished piece to look just as nice on the inside as it does on the outside.
This pattern is best suited for intermediate sewists, or confident beginners who are ready to try binding and take their time with more precise construction.
Finished size is 7 x 10 x 2 inches
