If it is a miniature bag that you are looking for then we have the perfect pattern here for you. The Milan Mini Bag is both adorable and mini standing only 5″ high, 6″ wide and 1 3/4″ deep. It is the perfect bag for women and little girls alike! Wear it comfortably across your body or over your shoulder.
The Milan Mini Bag is made with foam interfacing and has a fully lined, zippered interior pocket, while the turn-lock keeps your valuables safe. This is an awesome pattern aimed at the intermediate bag maker as the curves can be a little tricky.
What you will need to make the Milan Mini Bag:-
