The Upgrader Video Course

(3 customer reviews)

$19.00

Rating - INTERMEDIATE

INCLUDES VIDEO + PATTERN!

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.

3 reviews for The Upgrader Video Course

  1. Hjordis –

    I’ve completed both sizes of the Upgrader. It was a relatively quick sew for as loaded as it is with pockets and details. This is thanks in no small part to my very own instructor in my own sewing room via video feed!

  2. Laura –

    I tested both sizes of this bag and Christines instructions were great! She walks you through, step by step and when you’re done, you have a professional looking bag!

  3. Annie –

    I tested the small Upgrader and have to say I love it! Christine’s video course is once again amazing. The course is separated into manageable sections and they way Christine guides you through every single step takes all the guess work out of putting the pattern together.
