Merchant & Mills The Factotum

Sewing pattern by Merchant & Mills. A neat cross body bag, small but copious. Factotum has been designed to hold all your daily essentials. Fully lined, with two front pockets and a zipped closure. You can use leather or webbing for your strap.

Skill level: Intermediate. This is a paper pattern. All seam allowances are 1cm unless stated otherwise and are included in the pattern.

Merchant & Mills' suggested fabrics: oilskin, dry oilskin, mid-heavy weight cotton canvas or drill, mid weight denim (8-14oz). For the lining we would suggest using either our 5oz organic dry oilskin, half panama cotton, or barrier lining.

Finished measurements: length 20cm, width 30cm, depth at widest point 12cm.

You will also need: a leather strap or webbing (2.5cm x 98cm), rivets 4 x 9mm, loops 2 x 2.5cm, and one 30cm zip.
