Brideshead Bag sewing pattern
The book Brideshead Revisited was first published in 1945 and since then there have been many reprints, plays, TV series, and movies.
This bag was named after this drama/romance classic. The Brideshead Bag has an elegant and unusual curved shape and features a front pocket and flap following the clean, simple lines associated with the decade. The bag also includes an interior pocket and the designer has included instructions in the digital pattern download.
The Brideshead Bag looks really chic if it is made with a contrasting pocket and flap. Its modest retro styling also makes it an ideal shape for use with any patterned fabric.
When finished the Brideshead Bag measures approximately 14” (35 cm) high by 14” (35 cm) wide with a base width of 3.5” (9 cm). If you wish to download the pattern then please click on the link below.
