I’m happy to release this newest pattern, the Suburbanite Handbag. I had so much fun designing it and really enjoyed sewing each version as I tested it. My testers enjoyed it as well!

This pattern is rated for beginners, but can also be enjoyable for more experienced sewers with the use of a variety of fabrics.
