Denver Double Zip Bag - Re-release!

The Denver Double Zip Bag pattern has been completely rewritten, new photos has been taken, the techniques used have been updated to my latest and it now comes in TWO SIZES! Whooop, whoop! It was almost 4 years old this pattern, so this was much needed and deserved. =)

YES - If you've bought the old pattern - you'll of course get the new one without charge! Just send me an email with your purchase confirmation/a photo or screenshot of your pattern/or any kind of proof that you own the pattern, and I'll send you the new version right away. I can't due to the new data storage law save your email information for this purpose I'm afraid.

It's available in both Swedish and English in my webshop.

This pattern comes with both inch and centimeter measurements.


I've made more Denver Double Zip Bags for myself than any other pattern, and I just love this bag! And I'm hoping that now with the bigger size option, it'll appeal to even more people whom might want a slightly bigger purse.

Finished size - Small Bag: ~ 9” (23cm) wide, 5 ½” (14cm) high and 1 ½” (4cm) deep at the bottom.
Finished size - Large Bag: ~ 10 ½” (27cm) wide, 7 ½” (19cm) high and  1 ½” (4cm) deep at the bottom. 

These are both made in fabric by Katarina Roccella's Indelible collection, just like the original Denver (see further down the post or here) but this time her Indelible Flutter Folds print, matched with Kona Cotton solids for the straps. 



The small bag is perfect for a night on the town, when you want to have room for your phone, cards, money, keys, maybe a bit of makeup and some small bits and pieces. The larger can be used as a more day to day purse. It's such a quick and fun bag to sew, you'll probably just like me, not only make one once you get started!



This bag has two big zippered compartments, both fully lined. The main compartment also has a card holder for 3 cards, room for a lip balm and money slip pocket and a larger slip pocket that can be subdivided. The pockets can be customized to fit your needs.

Here's a few examples of favourite Denver Double Zip Bags I've made over the years. These are all the original "small" size:

The party version, this glitter vinyl is super cool, but man do I wish I'd made the back of the bag in a different materials, it sticks to everything!

The ORIGINAL Denver, made in Katarina Roccella's beautiful Stylus Text fabric from her Indelible Fabric Collection by Art Gallery Fabrics .

A white vinyl version I made for a party but that turned into an everyday bag and it is now more yellow than white from all the use *lol*

A pink snakeskin vinyl version I made to replace the white one above.

As always, this redesigned pattern wouldn't be a reality without my amazing pattern testers making sure everything is absolutely perfect before the release! 
 
Thank you all for helping me!  Here are their gorgeous bags!


Anette Lundin - made this absolutely gorgeous cotton version! Look at the details on this one, everything from that beautifully decorated "Handmade" plaque and how cool isn't that gorgeous stitched strap? I've highlighted this bag a little extra because Anette herself said (freely translated by me from Swedish): "This pattern is a little special to me because it was the first bag I made (after a pattern) and it was this bag that got me "hooked" on bag making."

I'm super honoured and happy Anette that the Denver is as dear to you as it is to me. And oh my goodness how cute your kitty is! <3
