The VEGA bag is a versatile 3-in-1 bag that you can use as a tote bag, messenger bag, or backpack. The bag is fully lined, has a deep front pocket, two zippered pockets, and open pouches inside, as well as side pockets on the outside.

Links for fabrics

  • If you are using a cotton canvas, we recommend Pellon TP971F.
  • If you are using waxed canvas, you do not need to interface the fabric.

For the hardware, don't hesitate to upcycle an old bag or item from a thrift store. If you cannot find any, you can check out Emmaline Bags, where we purchased our metal hardware for our bags. Plastic hooks, rings, and sliders can be found quite easily in fabric stores and on Amazon/Etsy.

To make your project quicker, look for 1'' webbing by the yard for the straps, handles and connectors.

    Awesome bag pattern

    Great pattern and instructions. Easy to modify as needed. I didn't like the test rectangle and I had trouble understanding it's instructions. But I managed just fine!

    Awesome bag pattern

    What a great pattern! The instructions are clear and concise. It was a cinch to adjust the pattern as I needed. I will definitely make more of these!

    My only complaint is that the test square instructions were very confusing.

    Très beau patron !

    J'ai fait ce patron pour l'entrée de ma fille à la garderie !
    Les explications sont super faciles à comprendre, chaque étape a son image pour nous situer comme il faut. Le résultat est magnifique !
    J'ai adoré ce patron :)
