The Una Boxy Bag - £6+VAT
The Una Boxy Bag is a cross-body or shoulder bag, designed to show off those pretty, wide bag straps that you find in boutiques.
It has a zipped pocket on the front and a slip pocket on the back, to help you stay organised. Made using foam stabiliser, this bag uses a useful technique inside the lining so that you get a nice finish without needing to bind. The optional welts covering the zips mean that it doesn’t matter if you can’t find the perfect colour of zipper!
This pattern has a full tutorial video, which follows along with each step.You can sew along with the video here.
This is a downloadable PDF pattern sent to your email, not a physical product, and cannot be refunded once purchased.
