Easy Beginner Shoulder Bag pattern
This is an Easy Beginner Shoulder Bag sewing pattern that the designer, Projects By Jane, has named the Forever 19 Shoulder Bag Pattern.
This shoulder-length bag with curvy bottoms has two interior pockets, one of which is a double slip pocket and the other is a zip pocket. Forever 19 has a magnetic snap closure, or to make it simple you can make the bag without any closure. And this shoulder-length bag can be made with whatever length of strap you like.
This project is suitable for a beginner in bag making. This bag is a tiny bit challenging for a newbie but you can do it! You can opt not to make the zip pocket the first time around. There are lots of detailed steps and photos to guide you along.
