Weekender Bag Pattern: Leather Travel Bag in 2 Sizes (PDF) with Video Tutorial
Make your own leather weekender bag with this pattern and the full step by step video tutorial. The Heritage Weekender has a zipped top, rolled handles and buckle straps on the sides, and you get two sizes in one download.
This is a digital PDF pattern, not a finished bag. Nothing is shipped.
Sizes: Large 55.5 x 37 x 18 cm (21 x 14.5 x 7 in) and Small 46 x 33 x 16 cm (18 x 13 x 6.25 in).
What you get: Real size pattern pieces for both sizes, with every stitching and rivet hole marked so the seams line up on their own, no measuring, no counting. Three PDF files, one each for A4, US Letter and Legal paper, each with a printer test page, a layout map for each size and an assembly diagram. A free step by step video tutorial covering the full build. Instant download, so you can print and start the same day.
Difficulty and time: Intermediate, about 9 to 12 hours.
Materials you will need, not included: 11 to 14 sq ft of 5-6 oz leather, 2 x 20 mm buckles, a 29 in / 74.5 cm long zipper and 2 x 16 in ropes (9 mm thick).
Printing: Open the PDF on a computer with Adobe Reader and print at "actual size" so every piece comes out to scale. Print the test page first and check the squares measure 5 cm and 2 in.

Printing & paper sizes
Open the PDF with Adobe Reader and print at "actual size". Do not use "fit to page" or "shrink to fit", those resize the pattern and the pieces will not line up.
Each file names its own paper size. Print the test page first and check the squares measure 5 cm and 2 in, then print the sheets for the size you are making and tape them together along the marks.
