Integrated-Strap Hobo Bag PDF Sewing Pattern

Prepared after purchase. Digital delivery within 1 business day. This planned fabric hobo bag combines a soft rounded body with one fixed shoulder loop that continues into the side and base gusset. Broad exterior slip pockets keep the two faces useful without adding separate handles or metal fittings.

One integrated shoulder loop and two outer pockets

• Soft, gently rounded rectangular body with a deeply scooped open top
• One fixed self-fabric shoulder loop, joined at its apex and continuous with the side and base gusset
• A separate broad body panel on each side of the gusset
• One undivided exterior slip pocket across each broad face, with pocket edges caught into the side and base seams
• Ivory lining and clean turned, topstitched edges in our planned version
• An open main compartment without a zip, clasp, flap or adjustable strap

The olive front and rear previews show the same construction. Clay terracotta is an alternative color of this one design. The lining and open-top finish are Sewlore development choices.

Fabric and construction planning

A washed cotton canvas or another suitable medium-weight woven is a useful starting point for a soft body with visible seam definition. Compare the folded thickness at the loop join, pocket corners and gusset curves before selecting fabric. Cotton lining is planned; any interfacing and seam reinforcement will be determined during preparation rather than assumed from the previews.

The English guide will address making the broad pocket overlays, joining the body to the continuous gusset, forming the fixed shoulder loop and finishing the lining and opening. Make a sample to check the opening, pocket access, shoulder reach and behavior with your intended contents. No carrying capacity, tested load rating or security closure is specified.

For two separately attached handles, compare the lined gusseted tote bag. For a zipped main compartment and an adjustable carrying strap, see the zipped gusseted crossbody bag. Browse our bag and purse sewing patterns and accessory patterns.
