Let’s make the Gabriella by The Empurrium – but as a travel bag!
First, this sucker is long! But, it includes many modifications and has a drop in lining made on a cylinder arm! Use the timestamps to watch the sections you need!
I forget to mention in the video the amount i cut and add to the interior panels to have a zipper panel:
- Cut 1 3/4 from the top of all lining pieces (except base)
- Create top panel pieces 2 1/4 inches high, using original pattern pieces for the correct angles
- Sew at 1/4" seam allowance, topstitching on the top panels.
