Jessiou's Closet Daily Bag Sewing Pattern (PDF or Printed)

The Daily Bag is a timeless shoulder bag, perfect for all your necessities but elevated enough to feel special every time you wear it. It can be made with a simple fixed strap for effortless daily wear, an adjustable tie strap for added drama, or the optional bow for an eye catching statement.

When designing my wedding wardrobe, I wanted to make intentional time for accessories that could live beyond one moment, pieces I’d reach for long after the celebration. The Daily Bag is just that: an easy going carry that bridges everyday practicality with something worth remembering.

Whether you sew it as a gift or for yourself, The Daily Bag is meant to carry a little bit of your story wherever it goes. I hope that wearing this bag makes you feel as special as you are.

This is a BEGINNER FRIENDLY PDF sewing pattern that is designed to help sewists build confidence with simple, approachable bag making techniques. You'll learn how to sew a lining, how to interface fabric, how to sew a bow, and more.

Sizes:
This pattern comes with one size, but fun hack: If you want to make a smaller or larger version of the bag, you can simply scale the pattern pieces while printing. For example, if you want a smaller bag, you can print the pattern at 75% scale. If you want a larger bag, you can print the pattern at 125% scale.

This pattern includes:
- Step by step illustrated instructions written for beginners
- Nested Print at Home File (compatible with US Letter and A4) with layers
- Large Format File (A0/Copyshop)
- Projector File for those using projectors for sewing
- Detailed tutorial to guide you every step of the way

Pattern Details:
- Fully lined bag with clean finishes
- Optional front bow detail that is detachable
- Adjustable tie straps or a fixed strap variation
- Internal and external pockets

Suitable Fabrics:
The Daily Bag works beautifully in a range of fabrics depending on your desired look and feel. For a structured, everyday version, try a medium to heavy weight fabric such as denim, canvas, or twill. These options hold their shape well and will ensure your bag easily withstands the weight of everything you carry.

If you prefer a softer or more relaxed look, consider fabrics like cotton or lightweight denim. To maintain structure while using lighter fabrics, this pattern includes instructions for interfacing the lining of the bag.
