Annette Purse or Handbag sewing pattern

Swoon patterns knocks it out the park again (in our opinion) with the Annette Purse sewing pattern. As a bonus with this pattern, there are two different sizes included in the pattern.

Perfect for all occasions, this Satchel Handbag (the small size) and Commuter Tote (the large size) are as stylish as they are practical.

With a sleek and classic look, this bag features handles, a removable shoulder strap, two exterior pockets, and one zippered pocket. We simply adore the look, the shape, the curves – Annette is a stunner!
