This is the downloadable PDF version of the pattern that you can print yourself. No physical media is provided.
The Cathy’s Expandable Carry-all is the perfect bag for every day that gives you a little extra space when you need it. This versatile bag is structured and sturdy in its smaller form. When you need to pack a few extra things, simply unzip the dividing zipper to reveal five inches of extra space and an unexpected pop of color.
The inside of the Carry-all features two patch pockets and a zippered pocket that remain easily accessible whether the bag is expanded or not. Two pouch pockets on the outside mean you will always have your phone, keys, and other necessities within easy reach. A zipper secures the top of the Carry-all to keep its contents safe.
There are two size options included in this pattern. The smaller handbag size will be your new favorite everyday bag. The larger tote-bag size is perfect for travel or shopping. Make both and be ready for any adventure!
