Check out this free tie knot shoulder bag sewing pattern by Tess Jean, a chic, modern silhouette highlighted by a stylish knotted handle. A full interior lining and recessed top zipper closure give the slouchy design a high-end finish that keeps everyday essentials neatly enclosed.
It sews up nicely in sturdy cotton canvas or denim, but it also shines as an approachable intro to leathercraft using faux leather or genuine hides. When stitching thicker materials, swap in heavy-duty thread, a strong needle, and a Teflon foot alongside your zipper foot so your machine glides through bulky seams cleanly. If you prefer a firmer bottom instead of an ultra-slouchy look, the pattern includes instructions to slip in an optional base insert for added definition. The free pattern download pairs with an in-depth video tutorial that walks you through every step of construction. Cut out your favorite canvas or faux leather, load up your machine, and stitch this modern tie knot shoulder bag for a polished go-anywhere accessory!
