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 (11β) W X 20cm (8β) H X 8cm (3β) D.
Rated Intermediate: 
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!!
