How to make a Carry On Underseat Luggage

How to make a Carry On Underseat Luggage


Today, I made a convenient and practical large-sized travel bag.


This Bag has a full wraparound zip opening to give easy access to the spacious main compartment.


And its trolley sleeve perfectly secures to any away suitcase.


With a 15" laptop pocket, we also love it as a daily work bag or gym bag.
Let's make it with Sewingtimes.


The finished measurements of this bag are approximately 40㎝(15⅞″) W × 25㎝(9⅞″) H × 18㎝(7⅛″) D.
