Allure Designer Handbag sewing pattern
The Allure Designer Handbag is a fun, medium-sized, bag with an adjustable strap, from one of our favorite designers, Chris W Designs. You can wear it on your shoulder or across your body. The super fun flap features a trimmed zipper pocket, perfect for your keys. This is the designers special signature exterior quick-access phone pocket at the back which is also great for your keys or anything else small that you need to keep easily on hand. Or you can leave it off and decorate to your heart’s content.
The roomy main compartment closes with a twist lock or other lock. Inside you will find a zipper pocket. The designer suggests the addition of a Pocket Supplement which you can purchase separately if you need extra slip pockets. The flap is also perfect for showcasing your favourite fabric or embroidery, simply leave off the Zipper Feature if you want to leave the panel unbroken to feature a large scale print.
Adding a cute little tassel will complete the picture. A super fun weekend project to create a stunning masterpiece with a beautiful structure. You can get the pattern now by clicking on the link below.
