Dot Dot Dash Bag Pattern *

The Dot Dot Dash Bag Pattern by Sew Sweetness has instructions for easy to install zippers! This bag features five exterior pockets and an adjustable strap, so you can go from a bag that carries close under your arm to a fabulous cross-body bag. You have the option to make your bag all in one fabric, or go wild with your favorite charm pack in my quilted version! Because the Soft and Stable makes the bag slightly padded, it is perfect for your laptop, Kindle, iPad, and any other electronic devices! The finished size for this bag pattern is 13" long x 15" tall.

Materials Needed:

• 1 yard of Exterior Fabric (for quilted version, substitute 1 charm pack or 36 charm (5”) squares
• For quilted version only: 1/2 yard of fabric for the straps/top/side
• 1-1/4 yards of Lining Fabric
• 2 yards of Pellon® SF-101 Shape Flex® fusible woven interfacing
• 2/3 yard of By Annie’s Soft and Stable™ (Soft and Stable is a thin, foam sew-in interfacing; one of my testers also recommends automotive headliner fabric in place of the Soft and Stable) Helpful Hint: 2/3 yard of Pellon® #TP971 Thermolam® fusible interfacing (a needled fleece) may be substituted for the Soft and Stable, for a great slouchy look.
