Waterproof bag

Pattern: The Jack Tar by Merchant & Mills: This copious bucket bag has space for an almost infinite amount of stuff. Fully lined with 3 divided internal pockets. The most useful of bags.

Sizing: one size only

Fabric: 1 m of black water-resistant fabric and for the lining 1 m cotton twill

Notions: The Jack Tar Bag making kit (1 D rings, 4 rivets, 1 veg tan leather strap, 1 magnetic snap)

Modifications: I chose to make pocket both inside and outside. In the end, I was forced to recut the straps and facing (for this I used cotton that I interfaced with heavy interfacing) because my machine did not want to sew over more than 2 layers of the waterproof fabric no matter what I tried.

Fit: n/a

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?: yes

Watch out for: if you use a fabric that’s too thick for the outside you might have issues later with the straps or the facing. In this case, consider using a different less think fabric for the facing.

<Make Again?: yes. For more details and pictures please check out my full review Here
