One Bag - Two Stories.
This is a digital sewing pattern for the Slouchy Hobo Bag with Tie - a soft, easy-to-carry shoulder bag with a relaxed shape, gentle tie detail, and useful inside pockets.
It is designed to drape comfortably against the body, with enough structure to feel practical, but still soft enough to keep that relaxed hobo shape.
For our sample bag, we used a softly stencilled linen for the outside and paired it with a natural cotton lining. The linen gives the bag a calm, handmade feel, while the lining keeps the inside breathable, tactile, and lovely for everyday use.
The pattern also includes a downloadable SVG file for the stencil design. You can send this file to a company that does laser cutting and have the stencil cut for you, so you can recreate a similar stencilled look on your own fabric.
The stencilling is completely optional. You can make your bag in stencilled linen, plain linen, printed cotton, canvas, soft washed fabric, or any fabric that feels like you.
The tie detail gives the bag a gentle gathered finish and adds a quiet bit of character without making it feel too busy. You can make the ties in the same fabric for a softer look, or use a contrast fabric if you want that small detail to stand out.
Inside, thoughtfully placed pockets help keep your essentials close and organised - keys, phone, lip balm, small notebook, or the little things you like to keep within reach.
