Perfect pattern for Back-to-School bags or traveling through airports! This bag comes in two sizes, the Oasis was designed for my 6'4" teenager to carry his books and laptop to school. The Mini Oasis was requested by his younger brother because he has to have everything like his big brother, just in a smaller size of course! I made a Mini for myself to use as a laptop bag for work, in fact, I made a couple for me because they were so fun.

This pattern is suitable for either domestic or industrial machines, and all types of fabrics. You just need to be mindful of what your machine can handle and keep any interfacing out of the seam allowances. It can be finished with binding or birthing methods, instructions are included for both!

Finished dimensions of the Oasis are 18" H x 11.5" W x 5" D.  

Finished dimensions of the Mini Oasis are 15.5" H x 10" W x 4" D

The exterior has a front hidden zipper pocket and rear vertical zip pocket for your mobile devices. Inside you will find a device sleeve and zipper pocket, as well as, the keyminder, of course. Plenty of room to add additional slip pockets if you wish, my testers have some examples of these in the Inspiration pages of the file. 

There is a video tutorial available for this pattern if you prefer visual instruction. Michelle Graham from mgrahamsews walks you through every step. You will still need to purchase the pattern here to get measurements, etc. as she will never refer to them in the videos. 

This makes a great gift for all your school-age kiddos. What is better than a one-of-a-kind backpack to use everyday? Please share your Oasis Bags with us when you are done on your favorite sewing groups! #oasisbackpack #minioasisbackpack
