Gabbie’s Grove PDF Pattern
$7.95
FEATURES:
Gabbie’s Grove is a super cool foldover bag which you can use as a tote or fold it over and use as a crossbody bag or put your arm through the Top Body Strap and use as a large clutch. You can even wear it as a backpack just by looping your adjustable strap through the Top Body Strap for a foldover backpack or the Handle Straps for a full tote backpack.
However, this foldover is not your ordinary rectangular flat foldover bag as it has a super cute and unique shape which gives you a super roomy main compartment.
On the exterior back you will find a phone or key slip pocket for quick access and on the front, a zipper pocket which is hidden when you fold your bag over.
Two magnetic snaps close your main compartment to keep everything nice and secure.
Finished size: Approx. 36cm (14”) W at widest point X 38cm (15”) H when unfolded or 23cm (9”) H when folded X 10cm (4”) D at the base.
Comes with a bonus helpful free video on downloading, saving and printing your pattern plus a bonus free video for printing with an iPad!

Angela Trenholm –
Christine never disappoints! I really enjoyed not only making this bag, but teaching it as well. Clear, concise instructions as usual.
Daryl –
I tested this bag and was going to keep it for myself, when a woman in my quilt group loved it so much that her mother bought it for her as a gift. I haven’t had a chance to make another one yet. The instructions are great as always. But this bag is so nifty that you can wear it so many ways! I even forwarded the photos of how to wear this bag to the woman I sold it to so she would know. I think this bag would make a great shopping bag or out of town bag where you can carry it so many ways and fill it with things you buy or need.
