The Hummingbird Hobo Bag Sewing Pattern by Lockwood & Webb Designs
Some bags make you choose: crossbody or shoulder, zipper or magnetic snap, pockets or clean lines. The Hummingbird Hobo refuses to make you pick. The Hummingbird Hobo by Lockwood & Webb Designs is a fun, fresh hobo bag pattern (Regular size) that bends to suit however you carry — a confident-beginner PDF sewing pattern packed with colourful step-by-step diagrams so you can build the bag your way, in your style.
Why We Love It

Tips for Success
- Decide your options first. Before you cut, choose your closure (zipper vs. magnetic) and pocket style (zip vs. slip) so your interior comes together smoothly.
- Test your hardware placement. Dry-fit the swivel hooks and D-rings before stitching to make sure your strap hangs exactly how you like it on your body.
- Press as you go. Crisp pressing at each step is what gives a hobo bag its soft-but-structured, professional finish.
