Mini Rando Sewing Pattern (PDF)

$16.00

The Mini Rando is a small handlebar bag with a “Rando” style closure, which makes it extremely easy to get into the bag while on your bike. The bag is a perfect size for longer day rides, or just as an everyday companion to you and your bike.

Skill level: Intermediate. This project requires a moderate knowledge of sewing techniques, and good machine control. Most of the project is fairly straight forward, but the final assembly will require stitching the bag together along a curved edge, which may be difficult for beginner sewists. The instructions are very detailed, with step by step instructions and lots of pictures. I feel like anyone with enough patience can take on this project, and I hope you do!

This is a PDF pattern. The download includes a tiled file that you can print on a standard printer using 8.5” x 11” paper, as well as a file for wide format printers. We recommend following along with the instruction booklet on your phone as it would take a lot of ink to print, due to all the photos.
