Making Bags Book Club: Hobo Bag - Salem



Sophisticated and stylish, this Hobo Bag was designed with minimal details to allow you to gradually expand your bag-making expertise but also to pair effortlessly with everything in your closet. With this project, build skills in fabric preparation, adding shape to the top edge of the bag, creating a base, assembling strap connectors, creating a shoulder strap, adding an interior slip pocket, installing an interior zipper pocket, assembling a bag with a zipper closure, and adding optional hardware and embellishments. The shaping along the top edge of the bag can be omitted for a tote bag silhouette instead.
