Sewing Pattern MANHATTAN Purse Bag
Available in 4 sizes.
Bristol is a Vanity sewing pattern as charming as it is functional, designed to adapt to all everyday uses. Available in a pencil case or small handbag, it can be sewn in two formats for each version. The kits can even be transformed into a lunch box or cooler by adding a suitable thermal lining. Its two-way zipped flap, its full lining fitted without bias and its small interior pocket make it a practical and aesthetic model. In terms of style, Bristol offers two types of handles – basic or with buckles – as well as an optional 50 or 55 cm shoulder strap for shoulder or cross-body wear. The finishes are particularly careful, with seams entirely enclosed between the layers. An essential model, to sew both for the whole family and as a very feminine little handbag.
One pattern, a thousand uses: everyday kit, well-designed vanity case or small elegant handbag.
Sewing level: Intermediate to advanced. The intermediate level is linked to rounded seams and fitting the lining without bias. The advanced level concerns the bag versions, whose smaller pieces require more precision and attention to detail.
Material suggestions:
- Exterior fabric: quilted, poplin, linen, canvas, gabardine, denim, jacquard, imitation leather, leather, honeycomb, jeans, waxed canvas, corduroy.
