The Phoenix PDF Pattern
$10.95
The Phoenix is a stylish handbag featuring exterior side gusset zipper pockets and a quick access phone pocket at the back. The roomy main compartment closes with a recessed zipper pocket. Inside you will find another zipper pocket. I like to add Pocket Supplement A (optional separate purchase) for some additional slip pockets. There is a removable cross body strap, two handle straps and bag feet to protect your bags bottom.
Finished size: Approx. 33cm (13”) W X 28cm (11”) H X 9.5cm (3 ¾”) D.
