This pattern makes an everyday, functional handbag which can be made in many variations. 
 
It includes an optional flap and a zippered closure.
 
As with the Small and Large Totes, you will learn the fundamentals of making handbags as well as how to vary the original pattern to create your own designs (by varying the straps, handles, rings etc, or adding a flap to the bag).
 
You'll also learn how to make a zip closure at the top of the bag. (The zip closure requires intermediate sewing skills, but the rest of the bag is BEGINNERS level).
 
The Pattern includes a flap pattern, and can be made as a satchel.
 
Bag size: 27 x 18 x 8cm
