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 (13β) W X 28cm (11β) H X 9.5cm (3 ΒΎβ) D.

Rachel –
I love the side pockets and the details of this purse, so pretty and upscale!
Ann Rhuland –
This pattern is one of the best I have ever worked with, Chris has done all the heavy lifting with her instructions 60 illustrated pages of well written direction. The unique construction method makes bag turning unnecessary which is quite stress relieving as turning is always a painful process. I would not hesitate to buy any of her patterns you will not be disappointed.
