Attleborough Bag PDF Pattern by Charlie's Aunt

The Attleborough Bag PDF Pattern by Charlie's Aunt includes sewing instructions and pattern templates for creating a 1940s inspired messenger style shoulder bag in TWO sizes (a practical everyday bag in the larger size and a neat slightly smaller version, ideally sized for all occasions). Fashioned in Charlie's Aunt signature asymmetrical style, this bag features a contrast lower panel, strap and pieced flap.  This bag makes up well in everything from tweeds paired with corduroy to cotton canvas mixed with a printed linen fabric. The flap template also doubles as an interior patch pocket, of which you can add one, or two. Finished sizes: LARGE - 11" H x 14" W (at widest point) x 2" D; SMALL - 9" H x 12 1/2" W (at widest point) x 1 3/4" D; 40" Strap length (for both sizes).
