Monroe Bag by Linds Handmade
Monroe Bag by Linds Handmade
Join us for this cute bag class! The Monroe bag features lots of great pockets in a fun, stylish handbag!
This is an intermediate pattern, in that it uses advanced bag making techniques that require the sewer to have a general familiarity with bag making and uses tools/materials that a beginner may not have on hand. This is not recommended for someone brand new to sewing.
Specs: this bag measures approximately 10 ½” across, by 7 ¼” tall, by 4” deep. As written, the drop length of the handles is 5”. It features one exterior back slip pocket, 2 interior slip pockets, a recessed zipper top closure, optional d ring add-on to clip a crossbody strap to, and the side gussets snap and unsnap for a more spacious interior.
