This is a sweet and simple bag with loads of feminine charm. It's a small but surprisingly roomy handbag. The sewing is uncomplicated, but the details are sharp, with structured straps and base and topstitched pleats and seams. The weighted strap adds extra strength and security to the magnetic snap closure. On this uncomplicated design, you will need to alter all the pieces of the bag. This will help you to understand how altering the proportions of a bag will affect the individual pattern pieces, and will prepare you for more detailed alterations.
