The Convention Raider sewing pattern is a holster-style bag that is worn around the waist and belted to the thigh. It can be worn also as a crossbody bag OR a backpack, if you choose to make smaller straps. There are three zippered pockets: a small one on the flap, long enough to fit a larger cell phone, a 2” deep main pocket under the flap, and a longer 11.5” pocket that can actually hold a Nintendo Switch, Surface Go, or iPad Mini!
The downloadable PDF includes all pattern pieces and fully illustrated instructions on how to construct the bag. Note that this pattern is for intermediate to advanced sewists who have experience with zippers and 3D pocket construction techniques.
There is a full video tutorial available on YouTube as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F59PMwt1Rs
