Aeroplane Bag by Sara Lawson of Sew Sweetness

Description

Aeroplane Bags Pattern. This set of bags is perfect for travel. Available in two sizes (regular and long), you will be able to pack a few days worth of clothing and essentials inside! The bottom of the bag is sturdy, and the top zipper is easy to install (if you have made a zipper pouch before, you will be able to do this easily!) – no hand sewing necessary!

Finished Size:
Regular 15-1/2” long x 17-1/2” tall x 6-1/2” deep
Long 18-1/2” x 14-1/2” tall x 8-1/2” deep

MATERIALS NEEDED:
3/4 yard of Exterior Fabric A (for top half of bag)
1/2 yard of Exterior Fabric B (for bottom half of bag)
1/4 yard of fabric for the straps
1 yard of Lining Fabric
1/2 yard of fabric for the zippered pockets
3 yards of Pellon® SF-101 Shape Flex® fusible woven interfacing (or lightweight fusible interfacing)
1 yard of By Annie’s Soft and Stable™, available at local quilt shops or on-line (Soft and Stable is a 1/8” thick, foam sew-in interfacing; one of my testers also recommends automotive headliner fabric in place of the Soft and Stable; you can also substitute a needled fleece fusible interfacing for the Soft and Stable, such as Pellon #TP971F Thermolam Plus fusible interfacing)
3/4 yard of Pellon #70 Peltex sew-in interfacing (or an extra-heavy sew-in interfacing)
26” sport zipper for size long, 24” sport zipper for size regular (a sport zipper is a thicker, separating zipper)
Two 12” zippers (or a longer zipper may be used and trimmed down after sewing)
