How to sew a Hobo Bag [ Free Sewing Pattern & Tutorial ]

FREE SEWING PATTERN: Hello fashion honeys 🤍 Today I am giving a tutorial for this hobo bag inspired by the brand - Khaite called the Olivia Bag. I really struggled figuring out how to to best install the zipper and then actually install it so I really hope this resource helps getting through those two steps! I loved making this bag and I hope you do too. I’m based in Australia and I purchased my deadstock leather from ’The Fabric Store’ which have locations in both Australia and New Zealand/Aotearoa. The blue bag is made from Cow Hide which is a larger bit of fabric so they let me cut that down to what I need and cost me about $50AUD so it’s definitely worth bringing the sewing pattern into store with you. Hopefully that helps but any other questions at all please comment below and goodluck! - Love Mareta xx CONNECT WITH ME My Sewing Patterns: Instagram & TikTok: @maretathreads MATERIALS Fabric, 40cm Zipper, Heavy Duty/Denim Sewing Machine Needles, Sewing Machine, Scissors, Pins, Thread to match.
