The Brigantine Bag

This is a PDF pattern to create a leather cross-body bag - The Brigantine Bag. The leather template includes a pattern to make an adjustable leather strap using a whole belt buckle and swivel clasp buckles. The second option is to use a purse chain of various lengths for a light stylish carry. Alternatively, you can make a fixed-length leather strap using the included patterns. The bag pattern comes with two front look variations - one using a strap and a button stud for the closure and the other - a LOXX closure button. Note that punching all stitching holes before assembly is not possible with this pattern. The leather bag design allows for creative two-tone or monochrome leather combinations. Have fun making The Brigantine Bag!

Happy crafting,

Deyan :)

THE BRIGANTINE BAG

=====

Bag dimensions:

23/14/7 cm ~ 9/5.5/2.75 inches

Skill level: Intermediate

Leather:

> 1.8mm thickness (4.5oz), medium temper for the bag (Alternatively you can use a combination of 2mm/5oz for the main body and 1.5mm/3.5-4oz for the gussets).

> You will need a 46/23cm (18.5/9.5in) leather panel for the main body of the bag.

> The panels required for the closure flap and the gusset pieces will all fit into a 23/19cm (9.5/7.5in) panel

> The above two total to ~1.8 sq. feet of leather needed (65/23cm ~ 26/9.5in panel)

> 2.4-2.5mm thickness (6oz) for the strap. The strap is 20mm (4/5inches) wide and you need two pieces – one 48cm (~19in) long and one 90cm (~35in) long.

Pattern specific tools/materials:

> 1mm, 4mm, 5mm & 10mm hole punches

> 2 x 20mm D-rings

> Closure option A: 1 x button stud – 9mm or 10mm cap size.

> Closure option B: 1 x LOXX Closure (search for “Loxx closure” or “Loxx snap fastener”)

> Strap Option A: 1 x 20mm whole belt buckle and 2 x 20mm swivel clasp buckles

> Strap Option B: a purse chain between 100cm and 130cm long. Those are available in many variations online when searching for a “purse chain”. They usually come with swivel clasp buckles already attached to them. Note that the Brigantine Bag is designed for cross-body carry and shorter chains might not be suitable.

> Note: stitching holes in the pattern are 4mm from the edge (unless noted otherwise in the instructions) and spaced at 3.85mm.

> Always print at 100% scale for the pattern to work correctly. Measure and cut on the outside edge of the lines. Please review the full instructions before commencing with the build. :)
