Super Nova Satchel Pattern *

The Super Nova Satchel Pattern by Samantha Hussey of Sewing Patterns by Mrs H includes sewing instructions and pattern templates for creating a beautiful baguette shaped satchel with generous internal space, a secure diagonal top zipper closure and protective base, in two sizes. The Super Nova Satchel has hidden strap connectors that are secured with rivets. The straps can be made double-sided (so with a different fabric each side, or vinyl on one side and fabric on the other), and there are two different handle lengths to choose between.

The Super Nova Satchel has a large pocket on the front and back panels that you can leave undivided, or divide if you prefer to have multiple pockets. Dividing one of the large pockets into three sections has been most popular with bagineers so far! Inside is a zip pocket, a slip pocket, a full-width slip pocket, and a beautifully large central space.

At the bottom of the Super Nova Satchel you'll be adding a bag base (we like to use cheap plastic cutting boards from our local homewares store!) and bag feet. The outer base of the Super Nova Satchel curves gently up the sides of the bag. These features give a lovely sturdy base to your bag, as well as helping to protect the contents of your bag from the elements. With all these features, this is a great customizable bag sewing pattern that you can adapt to fit your needs!
