Mega Bumbag

If your next DIY project is going to be a roomy bag, this could be your new trusty companion!

The classic bumbag has had a major growth spurt and turned into a super-cool Mega Bumbag. The same popular design – now in an extra-large version, giving you plenty of room for everything you want to take with you on the go.

The bag measures 48 cm wide and 28 cm high. Inside, there is a zipped pocket, making it easy to keep track of your keys, phone and other small essentials.

The practical strap is attached with snap hooks, which add to the bag's cool, edgy look. It's also incredibly practical, as you can easily swap the strap and change the look of your bag. Keep it simple with a strap in the same colour as the bag, or create contrast with colours, patterns and interesting materials. Let your imagination run free and create the looks you love.    

Fabric  

For this bag, we recommend medium-weight to heavyweight fabrics that provide good durability and a cool look.

We love denim for its edgy, modern feel, or canvas, which is sturdy and perfect for a bag designed to withstand everyday use. At other times, we go for a striking jacquard or tapestry fabric, as these add beautiful texture and help create a bumbag that really stands out. Velvet is another great choice, adding a soft finish that works beautifully for this bag. You can also choose a lighter-weight cotton fabric and quilt it yourself. 

Material consumption   

The quick overview:  

Choose an outer fabric and a lining fabric.

Webbing, 2 snap hooks, 2 D-rings and 1 strap adjuster – all components 38 mm.

50 cm metal or plastic zip. 20 cm zip for the inside pocket, e.g. a coil zip.

Quilt batting.

Find the consumption in the table under the images in the left menu on the page. 

Fabric requirements have been calculated for both 105 cm and 140 cm fabric widths. 

When we calculate the material consumption, we always place the pattern parts so that they face the same way on the fabric to take into account pile direction, pattern reports, etc. Also remember that the recommended length depends on the width of the chosen fabric.

If you want to know more about which techniques you need to use for this pattern, you will get the full overview in the online sewing instructions, which you will find in the section "Complete instructions" further down the page. When you buy a pattern, a printed instruction is included.
