This sturdy and versatile satchel is just the right size for running around town or taking on a trip. Adjustable straps make it easy to carry the bag in a variety of ways: over the shoulder, cross body, or as a backpack. Switchback is designed to be made with a variety of fabrics, alternating them for a fun colour-block style. The colour-block design shows on both the front pocket and flap AND on the bag back. A recessed zipper at the top keeps everything safe and secure and the flap may be secured to the front of the bag using attached hardware. Accessory straps on each side of the bag may be used to secure a ring of keys or a carabiner, or they may be used to help shape and close the bag. Exterior and interior pockets in a variety of styles carry and organize all of the day’s essentials.
The bag measures 11″”H x 11″”W and expands from 3½””D at top to 4½””D at the bottom.
Switchback’s shape and design make it perfect for men or women of any age!

Like all “by annie” patterns, the instructions are very clear and the code included gives access to online videos which show some of the more challenging elements of construction.
It sewed out beautifully and I am very pleased with the result.
