Leather Bag FREE sewing tutorial
This is the Leather Bag FREE sewing tutorial from the designer Havalah of Sisters, What! shared through the Ribbon Retreat blog.
It’s always a real pleasure for us to share with you FREE patterns or tutorials from designers. And this one is a very special share because the designer rates this bag project as her “most favorite bag in the world!! Seriously, I love it!!“
This lovely bag has a zipper closure, an outer zipper pocket, an inner zipper pocket, full width slip pockets on both sides of the lining, and an adjustable strap.
This pattern has an easy construction method and is very scrap friendly. You can mix and match your materials making the bag with a combination of leather or vinyl and fabric or just with fabric.
You can customize the full width slip pockets on both sides of the lining and therefore hold exactly what you want to carry.
