The Allure PDF Pattern
$10.95
FEATURES:
The Allure is a medium sized, roomy bag with an adjustable strap. Wear it on your shoulder or across your body. Featuring a super cool flap with trimmed zipper pocket, perfect for your keys.
There is an exterior quick access phone pocket at the back which is also great for your keys if you don’t have a phone.
Inside the roomy main compartment, which closes with a twist lock, you will find a zipper pocket. I suggest the addition of Pocket Supplement A (You can purchase this here) if you need extra slip pockets. For a different look, the large flap is also great to feature your favourite fabric or embroidery if you don’t wish to add the Zipper pocket.
Add a cute little tassel to complete the picture! A super fun weekend project to create a stunning masterpiece with beautiful structure!
Finished size: Approx. 34cm W (at the widest point, 27cm at the base) X 26cm H X 15cm D

Rachel –
Lovely purse with a great flap to feature special fabric without the zipper, or great style with the zipper!
Judith –
Excellent pattern. I was able to adapt it for a leather bag. Unique flap design. I omitted the flap zipper, but it looks great either way.
Daryl –
This is one of my favorite to make bags. I have sold a few and I made one for myself. I reduced the bag pattern to 85%, which is a size I prefer and I made 7 in the reduced size and one in the original size. The zippered flap pocket can be added or not if you don’t want to interrupt a fabric print. The instructions are excellent as are all of Christine’s patterns.
Hjordis –
Great pattern with such a fun top panel to personalize to your hearts content. The flap pocket is functional and can certainly stow my keys so they arent at the bottom of my bag.

Love this bag with all it’s features! And it also works great with all vinyl.
