How do PDF/ digital patterns work? Simply download, print, and sew. You’ll need a free Adobe Acrobat reader program and any home printer (or a nearby copy shop for A0 printing). Once you’ve printed the pieces, tape or glue them together. You’ll find an easy-to-follow how-to guide inside the pattern instructions, plus support in our Facebook group.
The trim-free pattern comes in A4 or US letter printable sizes and includes full pattern pieces and a detailed tutorial to guide you every step of the way. An A0 format (pattern pieces only) is also included should you wish to have your pattern printed professionally. PDF Layers allow you to select and print only the size/s you want/ need.

“Everything you will want in a Gym Bag! Such a stunning result. I used PUL to waterproof the shoe bag and the clothing bag insert so our daughter can use it at the pool. She loves it!”

This is going to be so useful for me for work! I know it’s a gym bag but it has the important drinks holders that will carry all the coffee I require to get through the day and if anyone else is now wearing scrubs to work this has a shoe compartment and a separate clothes (scrubs) bag!
Carmen Mills Brent –
What a versatile bag! It has tons of options like front and back pockets as well as a clothes bag, a shoe section, and water bottle pockets! It is also rather spacious. I can fit all of my workout gear and still have room in this bag.
Jenny Gomez –
This bag was an incredible sew! The shoe pocket and water bottle pocket were both new techniques for me, but the instructions were clear and it turned out great!
