Our newest pattern collaboration with Francli Craftwear. Ali from Francli Craftwear designs bags that are crafted with care, chosen with consideration and used for a lifetime.
The perfect pack for weekend adventures. The Weekender comes in two sizes, small and large. The large being more of a weekend trip bag and the small could be more of an everyday or overnight option. Both options have a lining with a pocket inside and a pocket outside.
We have chosen to use water repellent zips for this make, which come in 3 colours, sand, fern and black, each with the option of a matching g hook. You can also just use standard zips.
We have laser cut leather tabs here that can be used, or if you happen to have leather scraps at home a template has been included for you to use.
All seam allowances are 1cm unless otherwise stated.
Skill level - intermediate.
Fabric Suggestions:
