DESCRIPTION:
Please note: If you wish to make a few bags from Charlie’s Aunt sewing patterns or books to sell, please read the rules in the "additional information" section of our policies page.
Named after the 1940s book, Brideshead Revisited, this bag has an elegant and unusual curved shape, and features a front pocket and flap following the clean, simple lines associated with the decade. Instructions are also included for an interior pocket.
The Brideshead Bag looks chic made with a contrasting pocket and flap. Its modest retro styling also makes it an ideal shape for use with any patterned fabric.
The PDF pattern has 17 pages – 9 pages including photographs, detailed step-by-step instructions and illustrations, plus 8 pages of full sized pattern templates which you must print on A4 or letter paper and cut out. All templates are actual size but most of the pieces are too big to fit on one sheet so you will have to tape them together after you have cut them out. Instructions for this are clear.
