Quilted Handbag PDF Pattern by Jo-Lydia's Attic

The Sew 'N' Go Quilted Handbag PDF Pattern by Jo-Lydia's Attic includes sewing instructions to make your very own one-of-a-kind quilted handbag, using two fabrics you quilt together with batting in between. You can substitute already-quilted, double-faced fabric for the bag panels and a coordinating print for the straps, upper band, and straps. Yardage and cutting for this option are on page 8. Jumbo rickrack trim adds a touch of whimsy, but if you prefer a more tailored look, eliminate it. With multiple pockets that line the inside (3 on each side) and a pocket on each panel on the outside for a total of 8, this pretty bag has lots of places to stash what you need. All inside seams are bound so there are no raw edges in sight. Shoulder-length straps make it easy to tuck this bag under your arm. Tuck an easy-to-make support in the bottom of your bag, add what you need, and your bag is ready to grab ’n’ go. Finished size: 11" H x 13" W x 4 1/2" D.
