Here’s the Pasadena Shoulder Bag sewing pattern. The designer wanted to design the perfect everyday bag – not too big and not too small. Something which fits all of the essentials and yet is light to carry. It had to have zipper pockets and slip pockets and it absolutely had to have an adjustable strap that could convert the bag into a crossbody.

We think the designer made a fantastic sewing pattern. The Pasadena is a neat shoulder bag with darts to add volume. We love the narrow strap with the buckle details that turn this shoulder bag into a crossbody.
