The Attleborough Bag Pattern is a PDF sewing pattern by Charlie's Aunt that has complete instructions and pattern pieces for a 1940s inspired messenger style shoulder bag in TWO sizes. Fashioned in Charlie's Aunt signature asymmetrical style, it features a contrast lower panel, strap and pieced flap. This pattern contains templates for TWO two different sizes making it a practical everyday bag in the larger size and a neat little shoulder bag for occasions.
