So here I am again so soon! LOL Amazed? Me too! Anyway I am super excited to show you my next new pattern for 2023! The Ruffled Runaway!
PDF Info:
The PDF pattern for The Ruffled Runaway has 39 pages of instructions which include 96 step by step colour photos.
The pattern comes with written printing instructions as well as video instructions on downloading, saving, and printing for both a PC and Mac.
Pattern pieces are included for both shaped and rectangular pieces, as well as cutting measurements for rectangular pieces, so you can choose your preferred cutting method. Both Metric and Imperial measurements are included!

Description:
The Ruffled Runaway is a cute, modern and fun sew. It features a front and back centre pocket, perfect for your phone or sunglasses and two handy side slip pockets to drop your keys into.
The main compartment closes with a recessed zipper and is quite roomy for such a petite little bag.
Inside is a zipper pocket for stashing your valuables.
The bag has ruffled handle straps and an optional cross body strap which clips into optional grommets at the sides (you could also make strap tabs if you preferred).
Finished size:
Approx. 28cm (11”) W X 20cm (8”) H X 8cm (3”) D.
The Ruffled Runaway may also be suitable for an adventurous beginner, however choosing thicker fabrics will be more challenging.
So, as always, I want to say a great big HUGE thank you to each one of my testers….without them CWD wouldn’t be here! With all the eagle eyes of the testers hopefully the pattern is as close to perfect as we can get it! Testing also helps pinpoint where there are issues or difficulties in the instructions that need to be ironed out (clarified).. I know I sound like a cockatoo BUT, I believe I have THE BEST testers in the industry! You ROCK ladies!!
