The MidnightSUN is a workhorse of a pattern. It comes in two heights, cropped and tall, with a host of strap and closure options. A super flexible pattern; it can be made as a tote, shoulder or crossbody bag, with a snap, zipped or drawstring closure. The MidnightSUN has a simple modern aesthetic with a large outer curved pocket to the front that is complimented by a curved internal pocket along with the option of a zipped welt pocket.
The cropped version is a great size for a generous handbag or project bag; approximate finished internal dimensions: 22cm (8 ½”) tall x 37cm (14 ½”) wide at the main opening, 13cm (5”) deep at the base. The tall MidnightSUN makes a fab tote/crossbody bag or a larger project bag; approximate finished internal dimensions: 30cm (12”) tall x 37cm (14 ½”) wide at the main opening, 13cm (5”) deep at the base.
The pattern includes a number of main closure options; a recessed zip, a drawstring closure or a simple magnetic/snap fixing. It also includes lots of strap styles to choose from and combine; short hand straps, tote straps, flatlay straps, shoulder/short crossbody strap or a detachable crossbody strap. Both height options feature a generous main bag and a large external curved pocket. Internally you can choose from a host of options; keep it simple or add a zipped welt pocket, a curved patch pocket, or a simple rectangular patch pocket. There is also a "secret pocket" as part of the drawstring closure option.

The MidnightSUN is a "Confident Beginner/Intermediate" level pattern. The pattern has lots of options; some straightforward and some a bit more challenging; requiring a bit of confidence handling multiple layers of fabric and two different zip construction methods. New to bag making?? Don't worry, the pattern comes with a comprehensive PDF tutorial.
