This listing is for a DOWNLOADABLE PDF pattern only! You are NOT purchasing a completed Ocean Tide Shoulder Bag!

The Ocean Tide Shoulder Bag is a carefree and vintage inspired casual bag! It reminds me of the 70’s and has a super groovy shape. It’s meant to be constructed with a leather shoulder strap but I’ve included directions to make a fabric strap. You can also add an optional zipper pocket and magnetic snap. I’ve included two sizes: Low Tide is the smaller size and the larger size is the High Tide. The Ocean Tide might be simple in design but it sure does pack a punch!

This pattern is for Confident Beginners. The only thing that might seem difficult is making sure you cut the pattern pieces correctly, I’ve included very detailed tips on how to do this. My awesome testers ended up sewing several during testing (as did I)! Don't let this discourage you ... I have a Facebook group that I'm very active in if you need help - I also have a very helpful admin team and group members.

This pattern includes:

This pattern includes:

• ALL / FULL Sized Pattern pieces

• a Cutting List (to use instead of the included rectangular pattern pieces - to save the trees!)

• colorful and clear diagrams for most steps

• small Notes section on every couple of pages

• an A0 copy-shop file

• Layers to conveniently print certain multi-sized pieces

• Labels to keep track of your cut pieces

With this purchase you will receive a PDF pattern with full pattern pieces, detailed pictures, and step by step instructions on how to make your own Ocean Tide Shoulder Bag. There are full length videos done by some awesome YouTube creators showing you how to make this bag if you need any additional support.
