The Granger Book Bag pattern features two views, one with a messenger bag-style flap and one without. It has a fabric blocking around the bottom of the bag and flap, offering unique pattern and colour mixing opportunities. The Granger has an inside zipper pocket and kangaroo pocket, and view B has a small kangaroo pocket under the flap. The strap is included in the pattern, but can easily be made from bag strapping if desired.
The Granger Book Bag will be FREE you can download it here. Fill out the form below to subscribe to the newsletter to be notified when the PDF pattern is released on November 23rd, 2015. You can expect to receive the newsletter weekly with updates on the Granger and other Helen’s Closet News. For the next 8 weeks the newsletter will be focused on:

Both version of the bag use a few pieces of bag hardware (rectangle rings, strap slider, and magnetic snaps). If you do not have access to bag hardware or would prefer not to buy any, I will do a post on how to make the bag without any hardware so you can still make your Granger!

This week I made View B of the Granger Bag to show you the flap and extra pocket details. Expect to see View A on the blog in a couple weeks and don’t forget to get your free PDF pattern download!
