Rating - INTERMEDIATE

The Upgrader comes with two sizes to choose from. The small is the perfect sized handbag for a day out shopping where you don’t need to carry a ton of paraphernalia. The larger size is perfect if you like to carry a lot of extra things in your handbag.

The Upgrader features a front slip pocket (perfect for your keys) and a back slip pocket which you can choose to have as a quick access pocket for your phone. Or choose to have the back pocket close more securely with a simple alteration as shown in the pattern. The Top Strap Closure keeps your main compartment and front pocket closed. Inside the main compartment you will find a zippered pocket.

With the addition of Pocket Supplement B, you will have loads of pockets to keep organised while you shop!

Finished size:
SMALL: Approx. 25cm (10”) W at the Base and 37cm (14 ½”) W at the Top X 23.5cm (9 ¼”) H X 9cm (3 ½”) D.
LARGE: Approx. 28cm (11”) W at the Base and 41cm (16”) W at the Top X 28cm (11”) H X 10cm (4”) D.

1 review for The Upgrader PDF Pattern

  1. Hjordis –

    This bag, in both sizes, is loaded with pockets, easily accessible and hidden alike. The interior Seupplemental Pocket B adds a secure place to store valuables. Both sizes have been sewn for my personal use!
