The Fabulous Fifties Frame Bag - £5+VAT

This bag is inspired by the elegant evening bags of the 1950s. It is nice and deep, so you can carry everything you need. And at the end of the evening, you can fold the bag flat to put it away. Perfect for holidays!

This pattern has a video tutorial which shows how to attach the sew-in purse frame. You can watch it here.

This is a downloadable PDF pattern sent to your email, not a physical product, and cannot be refunded once purchased.

This pattern is a mixture of pattern pieces and cut sizes. It uses a combination of Decovil Light plus acrylic curtain interlining to achieve the structure, but you could substitute foam stabiliser for the Decovil, and fusible fleece for the sides if you prefer.
