[UPDATE – we can no longer find this pattern available on Etsy, Craftsy or the Emmaline Bags website. It appears to have been withdrawn. Sorry, we hate it when this happens, but sometimes these things are just outside of our control. You might find an alternative you love here in our archive of all purse patterns.]
You can make the Emmaline Bag with this extremely comprehensive PDF downloadable pattern. This stylish handbag is extremely practical, modern, classy and very spacious. You can carry all of your essentials and keep your keys, phone or wallet tucked away in one of the 3 optional inside pockets.
The very flexible pattern instructions allow you to customize the Emmaline Bag with different fabrics and shows you how to:
- sew gorgeous straps
- add a zipper pocket
- add a double slip pocket
- install a magnetic closure
- make a bottom gusset with a stiff bag base.
