The Una Boxy Bag - £6+VAT
PDF Pattern
£6.00 plus local taxes or 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!
You can sew along with the full tutorial video here.
I have a video and FREE download showing how to prepare foam stabiliser. You can find them here.
This bag can be made with cotton fabrics, cork, or leather, or a combination
The bag is fully lined
There is a bag base inside so the bag keeps its shape in use
The pattern pieces use dots and notches to show you exactly where to sew
I show you how to use stay-stitching to create a nice curve on your corners
Finished size: approx. 6¼” diameter x 3” high
