Pattern Description:
The Xanadu Traveler is the perfect bag for when you are ready to hit the road. Make your weekend getaway complete with a way to carry a full weekend of clothing and footwear with room to spare. Stocked with a bottom zipper compartment, a spacious interior, an optional trolley sleeve to piggy back on top of rolling luggage, elastic straps on the exterior to carry a yoga mat, a towel or even a jacket, and lots of pockets to keep you organized. The small size makes the ideal gym bag too! Top corners unhook for easy packing. Perfect carry handles along with a long strap to carry over your shoulder or even crossbody.
Best of all, easy to complete bottom zipper compartment with no drop-in linings or curved zippers to install.
The Xanadu Traveler comes in two sizes and two options to allow you to create the perfect travel bag to fit your needs.
Option 1: Create the ideal travel bag with a bottom zipper compartment to hold an extra pair of shoes, toiletries, or even dirty clothes. Perfect for the gym to carry shoes and a towel.
Option 2: Make the perfect getaway bag with a spacious interior and a contrast bottom that lets you pack it all in.
Both options offer to sizes two choose from-
Large: Measures: 14" High, 18" wide, and 8 1/2" deep. Sure to fit everything you need for a long journey.
Small: Measures 12" high, 15" Wide, and 7" deep. Perfect for a quick Jaunt out of town for the weekend, a great gym bag, or an overnight trip.
