Snow White's Purse Charming - Digital Pattern Download
A new sewing pattern by Willow Creek Sewn, Purse Charming boasts 7 pockets*, a cute shape, two sizes, and a super versatile strap that can be worn as a shoulder bag or a backpack or a crossbody bag.
The pattern explains all the techniques needed for making this bag - including how to make a two-tone no raw edge strap, hidden slip pocket on the outside of the bag, and zipper pockets with all raw edges fully hidden. The file you purchase includes pattern pieces for both the large and small bag, instructions with full colour photos (and added markings!), quick sew steps, and suggestions for how you can get creative with your bag!
(Small 10”w x2 ¼”d x11”h) Or (Large 12”w x3 ½”d x 14”h)
Pattern is suitable for a confident beginner. The first bag should take approximately 6-7 hours to complete (there are a lot of pieces and lots of awesome pockets!).
