This is a PDF sewing pattern for the Sidestrand Bag, a graceful design with a 1930s feel. With its elegant asymmetrical styling and sophisticated bow, Sidestrand is the perfect size and shape for smart daywear or special occasions. It looks stunning in a huge range of fabrics from tweeds and corduroy for classic daywear to pretty printed fabrics or even silk to elevate it into something very special. This vintage inspired pattern includes a template for an interior patch pocket, of which you can make one or two.
This PDF has 16 pages—10 pages including the cover, general, cutting out and step-by-step instructions, and 6 pattern sheets with the templates, which you must print and cut out. All of the templates are actual size and all seam allowances already added. As three of the templates are too big to fit on one sheet, you must cut out and tape these templates together where shown. Instructions for this are clear.
