This pattern is designed as an INTERMEDIATE+ sewing level.
The Ruby Satchel is a semi-structured handbag with a great color-blocking design. The front exterior features a secured pocket with a detailed contrast piped flap and the choice of either a magnetic or elegant closure. There is also an exterior pocket on the back of the bag allowing you to slip your phone or keys in so they can be accessed easily when needed. You can add the half-moon handles for extra detail, or just keep the bag simple with the adjustable buckle crossbody strap. The top closing zipper keeps all your items secure, and the bag feet on the base will keep your bag bottom clear of any surface while it is upright. The interior of this bag features a zippered pocket as well as a trimmed slip pocket with a pen slot. This Ruby Satchel will have heads turning with its elegant high-end design.
The instructions in this pattern are written for leather and vinyl. This design is NOT recommended for fabric.
