Description
This pattern makes a medium zipper-top bag, 13 inches wide, 6 inches deep, and 12 inches tall when closed, with six pockets inside. Aunties Two suggests it for shopping. The pattern includes two stainless steel stays, which slide into a channel at the top of the bag and keep it in shape.
What the Pattern Includes
The printed pattern and two Size D stainless steel stays with protective plastic tips, enough for one bag. The directions cover non-directional prints and give cutting sizes for directional prints, and the pattern includes instructions for piecing a block or a fussy-cut fabric into the front and back. This listing does not include fabric, interfacing, zipper, or thread.
For a second bag, or to replace the stays in a finished one, the Size D bag stays (AT642) come in a 2-pack.

Fit and Limits
The pattern makes one size, 13 x 6 x 12 inches. Aunties Two publishes two other City Bag patterns, each with its own stays: City Bag Uptown (17 inches wide, 8 deep, and 14 tall) and City Bag Downtown (9 inches wide, 6 deep, and 9 tall).
Aunties Two does not publish a skill level. The construction includes double-sided fusible foam batting in the bag body and a 24 inch double-slide zipper, and the tool list calls for a sewing machine with a walking foot and a free arm. Aunties Two posts free video tutorials for marking the lines, the pockets, the handles, the side seams, the zipper and binding, squaring off the bottom and sides, and inserting the stays.
