BUCKET BAG | SHOULDER BAG | SLOUCHY BAG
There are many types of bags. The bucket bag is one of my favorite types. The bucket bag trend is always alive and thriving. Bucket bags will carry all the essentials with the toss-it-in ease of a tote but in a more tidy, chic package. That’s why I love this kind of bag. But the bucket bag doesn’t necessarily look like buckets. The flat bottom can be round/oval or square. Typically have a top drawstring closure, but the most important is how easy and secure when you access your bag’s contents.
If you would like to make this kind of bag, you can search for the pattern and start to make it. This time I would like to share there is a bucket bag pattern from Country Cow Designs, that called “Deyjon” Bucket Bag.
I made the “Deyjon” Bucket Bag and I love it! I am sure for you all who loves bucket bag type also will love it! The pattern you can find here (just click):
The “Deyjon” is a great sized bucket bag. It holds loads of stuff inside but it doesn’t feel like you’re carrying the world with you. It features two exterior zip pockets which are ideal for holding your keys, phone, or sunglasses. The interior has a zipper pocket and slips pocket.
The pattern provides two options for the top closure. You can choose between a draw-string and a recessed zipper panel. They look so different that it’s almost like getting two patterns in one! The pattern is ideal for canvas, cork, vinyl, or leather. You can even make it using cotton but I’d recommend adding some fleece for stability.
Finished size: 12 1/2″ tall x 10″ wide x 5 1/2″ deep.
The pattern is suitable for ambitious beginners. It includes a full video tutorial as well as a 20-page step by step photo guide and a printable pattern for all pattern pieces in both A4 and “letter” paper sizes.
There is no binding used in this pattern and the lining is birthed and then sewn up through a pocket to give a neat lining.
