Gabby Purse sewing pattern
Sometimes you don’t need something with a lot of bells and whistles to make a super everyday purse. We think the Gabby purse is perfect for a regular handbag you’ll pick up and use as your main bag. Smart in leather, faux leathers, and fabrics of all kinds – it’s a very versatile pattern that you could find yourself making over and over again in different materials to give you a whole wardrobe of bags that have that store-bought or designer look.
Check out the slideshow at the bottom for examples of this purse that we are sure will convince you that you NEED to make one – at least one!
The Gabby Bag features exterior & interior zipper pockets, as well as an interior double slip pocket. Its single shoulder strap is approximately 34” (86 cm) long, but you can lengthen or shorten it to suit your own style.
