Aylsham Bag PDF Pattern by Charlie's Aunt

The Aylsham Bag PDF Pattern by Charlie's Aunt includes sewing instructions and pattern templates for creating a bag inspired by the simple utilitarian feel of 1940s fashions. It is unfussy, sleek and stylish with its asymmetrical flap and front pocket adding an unusual touch. The Aylsham Bag is perfectly sized for a practical day bag and makes up well in a range of fabrics from tweeds and corduroy for autumn/winter to heavy cotton canvas or patterned linen for spring/summer. It works best with the pocket and strap underside made from a toning or contrasting fabric. The front pocket template also doubles as an interior patch pocket, of which you can add one, or two.
