Backpack, school bag, satchel, satchel, Eugène will accompany you and your family on a daily basis and in all your activities!


The Eugène pattern allows you to make a bag that comes in 3 sizes. Special care has been taken with the finishing and assembly to create a bag that is as beautiful as it is practical:

  • Full interior lining
  • Clever interior storage and padded pocket for tablet or computer
  • Exterior pockets for the bag including a large zipped pocket and a water bottle pocket
  • Wide zippered opening
  • Handles, straps and/or shoulder strap
Eugene is available in either cover or PDF format, with the projectable file included in the PDF version for those using the pattern projection technique.
The purpose of this article is to present the versions of Eugène that we have sewn. The necessary yardage is available in the "Supplies to Provide" section on the pattern page.
