I like a lot of pockets (who doesn’t?!), and the Stingray Bag gave me the chance to feature a focal print on that front pocket, which has vertical zippers, a magnetic snap, and a slip pocket all in one!
An online workshop is available to purchase for this pattern, watch the trailer below:
Online Workshop Length – 1 hour 38 minutes

The pdf pattern includes 13 pages of sewing instructions, complete with 37 step-by-step color photos. Also included in the PDF pattern are printable pattern pieces for your home printer. The following files will all be included with your PDF pattern purchase:
- SVG Files (for electric cutting machines, such as the Brother Scan N Cut and the Cricut Maker)
- Projector Files (for use with home projectors for cutting out fabric; please see the group Projectors for Sewing for more information)
- A0 Files (large-format 33″ x 46″ pattern page for printing at your local copy shop, in case you would rather not tape together the pattern pages that are included in the PDF pattern)
Optional acrylic templates are available for this pattern, in case you’d like to quickly cut out the fabric and interfacing that are needed for the project. This is especially helpful for those that make and sell bags for craft fairs or Etsy shops.
