Today, I made a convenient and practical large-sized travel bag.
This Bag has a full wraparound zip opening to give easy access to the spacious main compartment. And its trolley sleeve perfectly secures to any away suitcase. With a 15″ laptop pocket, we also love it as a daily work bag or gym bag.
Let’s make it with Sewingtimes.
The finished measurements of this bag are approximately 15⅞″(40㎝) W × 9⅞″(25㎝) H × 7⅛″(18㎝) D.
