By Annies Pattern – Courtside (New Pattern for November 2023)
Pattern no. PBA303
Backpack/Racket Tote
Soft & Stable/Interfacing and Hardware substitution recommendations listed below the pattern description
DESCRIPTION
Combine your love of sewing with your active lifestyle as you make this combination backpack/duffle.
Inspired by multiple requests for a bag to carry pickleball and tennis rackets, we’ve designed this versatile travel bag.
Courtside is a spacious hybrid backpack/duffle bag that can fit under the seat on an airplane.
It includes features for carrying rackets, slipping over luggage, and opens wide for easy access.
It’s also hybrid in its construction: the body of the bag is quilted but the pockets are unquilted for a more modern aesthetic.
You’ll love its large easily-accessible interior. Multiple slip and zippered pockets plus expanding dividers organize everything from personal needs to water bottles.
Carry with quick-grab handles or use the adjustable padded straps for hands-free carrying as a backpack. A trolley sleeve on back makes travel extra easy!
NOTE: This project has many pieces and multiple layers so is recommended for intermediate to advanced sewists using a sewing machine that can handle bulk.
Finished size:
15″H x 11″W x 4¾”D at top,
15″H x 14½”W x7¼”D at bottom

A note about the supplies needed –
Soft & Stable – Most ByAnnie patterns have a requirement for a foam product called Soft and Stable. Soft & Stable can be expensive to buy in the UK, so we would recommend a substitution which is readily available, of high quality and of which we stock called Vlieseline StyleVil Foam – when you compare the products side by side there is very little difference and using the Vlieseline Stylevil Foam will make a comparible item.
Fusible Interfacing – Another product which is regularly required in ByAnnie bag making is fusible woven cotton interfacing (SUP179), again this product is quite expensive here in the UK so we would recommend substituting this for our woven cotton interlining (https://www.etsy.com/your/shops/me/listing-editor/edit/855198629/about) which is much cheaper product but gives an excellent finish.
Bag Hardware, Elastic, Polypro and Zippers – We recommend that you use the ByAnnie bag hardware, Zippers, Elastic, Mesh, Polypro and Vinyl. The ByAnnie hardware is of an excellent quality and is perfect for any ByAnnie sewing projects. The Zips have extra wide sides which can also be used to face raw edges on your project and match the colour of the mesh and elastic for a great finish. All ByAnnie hardware is available in our shop.
POSTAGE IS FREE TO UK ADDRESSES. If you are outside of the UK then the appropriate shipping/postal charge will be applied at checkout.
