Sawyer Satchel sewing pattern
The designer of this beautiful bag named the Sawyer Satchel says it is the perfect bag to make for that man in your life, for a student, or for yourself. If you need a messenger style bag to use for work or college, then this satchel style bag could be just what you need to sew.
If you want to make a perfect travel/business/school bag, then the Sawyer Satchel is a fabulous choice. It’s a great size and whatever you decide to put in it you will find, as the designer says, it can fit tons of stuff inside. Not only is it roomy, but it looks fantastic too.
The Sawyer Satchel has the following features:
- An easy-close flap that stays closed with double magnets
- The flap lays nicely even when not latched, for easy access to the two cargo pockets just underneath
- A large zippered pocket at the back
- The inside has a large dividing slip pocket to one side that keeps closed with a magnet, which is perfect for storing loose papers
- On the front of the large pocket is a smaller pocket with a place for pens and a phone, etc. Optionally you can add another zippered pocket to the lining for even more storage.
The bag is designed to be made with canvas or home decor fabric, and with faux leather as an accent.
