From Merchant & Mills comes a sewing pattern for a copious bucket bag with space for an almost infinite amount of stuff.

Make it in traditional British oilskin, sturdy canvas, cotton drill or denim. Fully lined with 3 divided internal pockets, it is the most useful of bags.

• Finished measurements: ~17" L x 18.5" W (43cm x 47cm)
• All seam allowances are 1.5cm unless otherwise stated.
• Skill level: Beginner
• Fabric suggestions: Oilskin, Dry Oilskin, Mid-Heavy weight Cotton Canvas or Drill, Mid weight Denim (8-14oz). For the lining we suggest something like a simple cotton or Duck Canvas.
• Patterns are printed within Europe; the pattern paper is 70gsm white (FSC® certified) and is made only 180km away from the printers.
• Instructions come in booklet format rather than A3 sheets. The paper is PEFC/01-31-126certified.
