This is an intermediate pattern in that it uses advanced bag making techniques that require the sewer to have a general familiarity with bag making. It requires accurate cutting/sewing and installing a curved zipper which can be challenging for new sewers. This bag is "turned" through an opening left in the pocket which gives the bag a nice snug, finished lining so there is NO binding involved.
Specs: the finished pack is approximately 6” wide by 7 1/2” tall and is 2 1/2” deep. The shoulder strap is cut to 56” long (cut into 2 pieces) and fully adjustable. It features 1 interior zipper pocket. The pattern also includes FREE SVG files for a home-based cutting machine and an A0 file for projector use or for a large format printer.

I have cut out 4 mav packs - so many possibilities for material and great vinyl choices! Have yet to sew the things tho. Directions look really well done and her help how to videos seem easy to follow- I like Linds teaching style so far.
I’m about half way through making this bag. The directions are easy to follow and pictures help a lot. I have sewn for about 60 years clothing and quilts but a few years ago started making bags. So much fun. Can’t wait to finish this one.
I would consider myself an advanced beginner, and although there are a few tricky spots, your instructions and video got me through. This won't be my last Mav pack!
Well written pattern, especially love the SVG’s. Haven’t made it as yet but will post pictures when completed.
As usual the instructions are written so clearly and thoroughly. Beautiful pictures for reference and tips and tricks noted to make the process even easier for the reader. I always love a Linds pattern and it’s a well I keep coming back to when I really need something to make that I know will turn out well!
