FEATURES:
This fun messenger bag pattern, Genevieve, comes with instructions to make 2 versions! Make one that is super charming with its piped details OR make it simple and leave out the piping for a quick and easy project!
Choose from two flap styles, plain or piped. Dress the plain flap up with a feature panel or embroidery. There is loads of space to customise and play with this design. Plus, Genevieve has a really nice unique curvy shape.
Complete with an adjustable strap, Genevieve closes with a magnetic snap and has a large slip pocket under the flap along with a smaller slip pocket for your mobile phone. Two interior slip pockets, a pen pocket and an interior zipper pocket to keep your valuables secure complete the ensemble! It’s a great weekend project that is MUCH easier to complete than it looks!
Optional: Simply add some rivets for a really professional look! You could also add a fun tassel, too.
Finished bag size = Approx. 36cm (14”) X 28cm (11”) X 7.6cm (3”)

OMG I am addicted to ChrisW! The most amazing patterns ever and this one is no exception. The flap on the plain one is so great for customizing. I add embroidery or use special feature fabrics. These bags sell like hotcakes in my market stalls. Thanks Chris!
