Betty Baguette Bag sewing pattern (with video)
The Baguette Bag is the hottest handbag trend this year.
It is a very versatile shape for holding the larger glasses cases for your sunglasses and the regular items you like to carry daily. It is both fun and challenging to sew.
There are eleven pockets plus the main section of the bag, a key strap with hook, zipper closure at the top and on the interior pocket, and purse feet on the bottom to help keep it clean.
Sizing info:
Bag Measurements: 12” wide by 7” high by 4” deep. By the pattern the strap is 38” long but can be adapted to any length you wish.
