Sewing pattern for the Flaptastic Bag

We get a few requests every now and then from sewers who still prefer to buy paper sewing patterns rather than digital, so here’s one that’s available in paper format and sent to you through the mail. This is the Flaptastic Bag sewing pattern. This purse sewing pattern really goes have it all – and more!

This bag has a full bag width exterior pocket. Secured with its own separate magnet snapped flap, its the perfect place to store your phone or keys for quick access. It also features 12 credit card slots and has a double flap bag front. One flap is to secure the front pocket and the main flap covers the main opening which also has a zippered closure.
