The Belle Bag by Sewspire
Download your complimentary copy of the PDF instructions to make this unique bag here.
As promised, I am sharing access to the Belle Bag which we sewed together as a small group in February of 2024. I hope you enjoy the project and encourage you to customize it to suit your needs.
A little bit country and a little bit rock n' roll, Belle can be crafted from a variety of materials including waxed canvas, vinyl, leather, faux leather, home decor, waterproof canvas, cotton and more!
For your first attempt, I suggest using a mid weight home decor / canvas fabric in two coordinating prints or a quilt weight cotton backed with light weight fusible fleece in two coordinating prints.
Belle is a mid size bag perfect for daily use and features:
- A front and rear exterior pocket that is well disguised
- Double shoulder straps
- A removable crossbody strap
- Zipper top closure
- 5 interior slip pockets
- Extra long attached key fob
- A spacious interior compartment
Approximate finished measurements:
11" across the base
8" tall
4" deep
Like most of my designs, The Belle Bag is crafted from simple shapes which can be easily cut out using a rotary cutter, mat and acrylic ruler. This type of sewing is great for visual learners and new sewists who would benefit from some confidence building projects.
Until next week, sew happy and stay sane!
❤️ Andrea
