Thorpeness is made with a multi-pieced front and a one-piece back trimmed with a pocket. The same template doubles as an interior pocket. The strap can be made from self-fabric or from webbing (adjustable). The style is named after an early 20th century seaside village on the Suffolk coast.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate finished dimensions: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eHeight 10” (25cm), Width 13” (33cm), Base depth 2” (5cm), Webbing strap at longest length made from quantities given including tabs is approx. 50” (115cm), Self-fabric strap is 42” long\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor the Thorpeness Messenger Bag, there are 24 pages —14 pages including the cover, general, cutting out and step-by-step instructions, and 10 pattern sheets with the templates, which you must print and cut out. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll templates are actual size.
