06 / BEFORE YOU CUT

A few things
to know.

Am I buying a finished bag?

This is a sewing pattern and guided course to make your own Courier Bag. Fabric, hardware and the finished bag are not included.

Is this a modular pattern?

This course follows one complete bag from start to finish. The focus is understanding the construction and building the design shown here.

What size is the finished bag?

Approximately 40 cm wide, 30 cm high and 9 cm deep. It includes a laptop compartment; check your device dimensions before choosing it for your laptop.

What fabric is the grey sample made from?

The sample uses steel-grey ripstop canvas with a black coated nylon lining, webbing and bound edges. The materials guide supports your preparation for the build.

When can I get the course?

Early access opens at 6 pm UK time on Thursday 8 October and runs for 24 hours. The digital pattern is £15.95 during early access, then goes back to £15.95 at 6 pm UK on Friday 9 October. The files arrive by email straight after checkout.
