Hobo bag from six panels — pattern to your own dimensions

Hobo bag from six panels: Test · side darts · one handle. Parameters, pieces and pattern examples in SVG, DXF and JSON. Dimensions are changed in the VLOTHO CAD configurator.

The diagram shows a width of 320 mm and a height of 245 mm. The duplicate width label for the center panel is ambiguous. The overall dimension of 320 mm was adopted. Each wall has three panels, with darts on the side panels. Dart intake, volume and handle length are preliminary; 3D volume is indicative. Independent test design based on an image from the October 10, 2026 collection. The illustration was generated and does not confirm sewability.

Open this example in the designer

The example opens with the dimensions specified below. Its changes are saved separately from your regular work. You can return to it using the link in the editor.

Example source parameters

Linear dimensions are given in millimeters. Parameter names match the designer fields; these are the initial settings and can be changed.

Parts in this example

The dimensions below are derived from the geometric model. The parts list changes with the parameters and enabled options.

How the size changes the pattern piece

Calculation example: the body width parameter was changed from 320 to 352 mm. The diagram shows the Center panel piece · back piece before and after recalculation at the same scale.

Open modified example

You can also download the modified JSON project. After modification, check the assembly on a mockup.

Download the pattern example

The files were generated using the standard VLOTHO CAD export from the parameters specified above. They show the model geometry and do not replace checking the product in the material.

PDF A4, 13 sheetsPDF patterns, 1:1SVG patterns, 1:1DXF patterns, mmJSON project

PDF A4 automatically selects portrait or landscape pages and rotates the pieces to reduce the number of sheets. For assembly, a 10 mm overlap, numbers, and alignment marks are provided. The standard PDF contains one piece per page. Both variants include a 100 mm test segment. For your own dimensions, modify the project and export a new PDF. How to print patterns at 1:1 scale.

What to check before cutting

Check seam alignment, handle placement, fasteners, and hardware on a paper or fabric mock-up. Unscaled dimensions are approximate.

VLOTHO CAD builds a geometric prototype. Allowances for bending, skiving, assembly thickness, and construction methods are determined by your material. Start with a paper mockup and a trial piece.

How to get a pattern for your dimensions

1. Open the model and set the dimensions in millimeters. To reproduce the tabular example, first load its JSON.
2. Check the parts list and enabled options. Adjust the seam and dimensions for your material.
3. Save the project and export a new pattern set. After changing the dimensions, the previous files no longer correspond to the project.

Dimension reference for this model: Stitching line. Dimensions in the parts table and the outer cut contour may differ due to the seam allowance. How to check seam allowances and stitching lines.

Materials and assembly

Select the leather and edge finishing after testing the mock-up; initial thickness 1.5 mm is a test value.
