HOBO BAG| HOBO STYLE | SLOUCHY BAG | HANDMADE | HANDMADE BAG | FINCH HOBO BAG
Yes, I really love the hobo style bag. Roomy and slouchy, so easy to carry and also I can dump everything I need inside!
This time Bagstock has a new pattern which is Finch Hobo Bag. This hobo has a curvy shape, but still beginner bagmaker friendly. Easy and fast, also fun sew. This bag has slip pockets inside and also there is an optional zipper pocket (tricky though because the shape is curvy, but yes sure it’s doable).
Its because I had a fun sew of this bag, I made my tester version with some decoration. I put an overlay on the bottom part and also some other decorations. I love how it looks at the end. I used fleece and woven interfacings for the exterior and woven for the lining. I added a sling strap too.
The fabrics that I used was Tropicalia Light from Art Gallery Fabric, and canvas.
