Pattern Description:

The Xanadu II …offering two new smaller sizes to the popular Xanadu Traveler Bag!

After many requests for a smaller Xanadu to use as an accompaniment to the Xanadu Traveler Bags or to use as a handbag the testers and I went to work to create the Xanadu II set with two new sizes and both options for a bag with or without the bottom zip compartment.

Top corners unhook for easy packing. Perfect carry handles along with a long strap to carry over your shoulder or even crossbody. Best of all, easy to complete bottom zipper compartment with no drop-in linings or curved zippers to install.

The Xanadu Traveler comes in two more sizes and two options to allow you to create the perfect bag to fit your needs.

Option 1: Create the ideal travel bag with a bottom zipper compartment to hold an extra pair of shoes, toiletries, or even dirty clothes. Perfect for the gym to carry shoes and a towel.

Option 2: Make the perfect getaway bag with a spacious interior and a contrast bottom that lets you pack it all in. Both options offer two sizes to choose from-

Both options offer two sizes to choose from-

• The Xanadu II Mini Size: Measures: 8" High, 11" wide, and 6" deep. Perfect for all your essentials to use as a toiletry bag, handbag, or to carry small stuff you don’t want to put into your larger Xanadu Travel Bag.

• The Xanadu II Tote Size: Measures 10" high, 12" Wide, and 7" deep. Perfect for a work bag, day away bag, a small gym bag or even a carry-on bag

The Xanadu II is a full pattern with instructions and pattern pieces to complete either the Mini Size or Tote Size Xanadu with either a Bottom Zip Compartment or a Contrast bottom. You do not need to have the original Xanadu Traveler pattern to complete your Xanadu II bags.
