Melford Messenger Bag Pattern in PDF format

Melford messenger Bag pattern by Charlies Aunt

The Melford Messenger Bag PDF pattern has 16 pages – 8 pages including photographs, detailed step-by-step instructions and illustrations, plus 8 pages of full sized pattern templates which you must print on letter (8 1/2" x 11") paper and cut out. All templates are actual size but many of the pieces are too big to fit on one sheet so you will have to tape them together after you have cut them out.

This pattern is also available in print format at PursePatterns.com
