I’ve decided I’m gonna stop being shy and I’m gonna start posting the stuff I make!!
This is a personal-size carry-on bag for traveling. It is self-drafted, but it was heavily inspired by a By Annie pattern, I think the Divide and Conquer bag? But I wanted to try for myself and I’m SO proud of how it turned out!
The bag opens flat. It has two internal pockets (one on each side), one external pocket on the front, and two internal “pages” that each have a padded pocket on one side and a mesh pocket on the other. On the back of the bag it has a sleeve so it’ll slide over the handle of a rolling suitcase and hold the bag on top. The straps are both adjustable so it can be carried over the shoulder.
This is my second attempt making a personal carry-on like this. My first attempt was flimsy and the straps were not secure enough for the weight i pack into this kind of bag. (I hate paying and worrying abt checked luggage so I try to only take carry-ons when I travel). This one is SUPER sturdy and comfortable to carry, I feel super confident I’d be comfortable carrying it through a crowded airport!
Almost all of the fabric was secondhand, either given to me or thrifted. The zippers are zipper by the yard. The hardware was taken from the old version and the mesh bags were laundry bags from Dollar Tree. I’m super happy they were the perfect size!
