Emma Stadium Bag Digital Sewing Pattern

It’s always so much fun heading out to a concert, sporting event, or festival. However, with these large scale events, the sizes of bags allowed inside seems to be getting smaller. Many of these venues have started to make exceptions to their bag policy sizes - as long as they are clear. I was faced with this set of circumstances and had to make a clear vinyl bag the night before I left for an out-of-state event. My last minute project became the inspiration behind the Emma Stadium Bag.  

The Emma Stadium Bag is not just for public events. Use the large size for a school or work bag. The medium size is perfect to use as a project bag, to hold toys, makeup and toiletries for travel. The small size can be used to hold your TSA approved liquids at the airport, as well as a pouch within a larger tote.  You can customize each bag using your favorite team fabric or some fun colored vinyl.

FEATURES:

• All sizes based on using clear vinyl as the main body with a fabric zippered top 
• Small version includes a wristlet strap
• Medium uses a cross-body strap and slip pocket
• The large size consists of wider shoulder straps for a heavier load and slip pocket
• Options can be mixed and matched to create your very own style
  
• Side seams of the vinyl are sewn down to keep you hands from being scratched 
• Fabric top completely encloses the vinyl for a clean finish inside the bag 
  

SKILLS TO LEARN:

This sewing pattern will show you how to sew a zipper opening and how to bind a zipper for a clean finish. I’ll show you some alternative techniques to hide seams for a beautifully finished bag, including mitered binding. You’ll learn how to sew with vinyl, make three different straps, and add D-ring tabs in two ways.
