MidnightSUN – DIY Bag Sewing Kit (+ colour options)

The MidnightSUN is a workhorse of a bag pattern. It comes in two heights, cropped and tall, with a host of strap and closure options. A super flexible pattern; it can be made as a tote, shoulder or crossbody bag, with a snap, zipped or drawstring closure. The MidnightSUN has a simple modern aesthetic with a large outer curved pocket to the front that is complimented by a curved internal pocket along with the option of a zipped welt pocket.

The cropped version is a great size for a generous handbag or project bag; approximate finished internal dimensions: 22cm (8 ½”) tall x 37cm (14 ½”) wide at the main opening, 13cm (5”) deep at the base.

The tall MidnightSUN makes a fab tote/crossbody bag or a larger project bag; approximate finished internal dimensions: 30cm (12”) tall x 37cm (14 ½”) wide at the main opening, 13cm (5”) deep at the base.
