About The Ingela Trio of Bags:

“Ingela” is a trio of bag patterns. You will get the patterns for one Tote Bag, one Crossbody Bag and one Zipper Wallet in one purchase.

These three bags are easy to make, even for a brave beginner. I have used details that are similar from one bag to the other, which makes the bags easier to sew once you get the hang of a few details. I was surprised at how fun it was to make a matching set. Whether you make them for yourself, for a friend or family member or for sale, these bags are sure to grab attention from all kinds of bag addicts.

I have made versions of these bags with outdoor fabric, cork and vinyl, and I love to use waterproof canvas for the lining. On all tote bags I have used rubber foam for the sides and bottom, and regular woven interfacing for the other things. The waterproof canvas gives a sturdiness to the bags that is totally unique.

The two bags and the wallet are made with one main fabric and one accent fabric (vinyl, cork or leather) for piping, the bottom and decorative details.

THE TOTE BAG is large enough to carry your laptop computer and other stuff you need kept safe and secure. It has a recessed zipper closure so nobody can stick their hand in it when you’re standing in line somewhere. It features decorative metal strap connectors from sallytomato.com, but the pattern comes with strap connectors you can make yourself. There is a zipper pocket on the back of the tote bag, another one on the inside, together with two slip pockets. The handles are long enough to carry the bag on your shoulders and you can make them with an accent decor strap if you like. There are rivets on the straps, and the pattern comes with a tassel as well, so you can clip one to the bag for decoration.

THE CROSSBODY BAG will fit your phone, wallet, sunglasses and other small necessities. There is one zipper pocket on the back of the bag and one on the inside lining. There is also a slip pocket inside, divided in two. The adjustable cross body strap can have a decorative strap in the accent color if you like. The strap connector comes with decorative O-rings that the strap is connected to. There are rivets on the strap and the strap connectors, which is both decorative and give extra strength. It looks good with a zipper pull strap that makes it easy to grab the zipper pull when you want to open the bag.

THE ZIPPER WALLET has 5 card slots on the inside plus plenty room for cash, receipts and a lipstick. The strap connector in the side looks good with an O-ring or a D-ring that makes it easy to grab the wallet out of a purse. You can even walk around with it hanging on your finger from that O-ring.
