Pattern description from Son of Stitch ‘n Bitch: “there was a time when one could receive no higher compliment from a significant other than a mixtape, a sign of true love indeed. While the mixtape may have been replaced by iPod playlists, the nostalgia of the cassette lives on. Music geeks will love the retro cassette image on the front flap of this bag, then flip upon finding out the bag is sized to hold records! It’s perfect for DJs or for anyone who spends too much time at the local music store. It’s felted, lined, and has plastic mesh reinforcement to make it able to handle both the weight of vinyl and the punishment of the user. And if your dude’s no DJ, just alter the dimensions a bit to fit his laptop of legal files. For lighter duty, the bag can be used without lining or mesh.”
