Blogiversary!!!

Happy Blogiversary to me! I think the idea of a blogiversary is kind of funny. The word isn't even in the dictionary although I bet it will be soon. After all, ginormous made it in.

It's been a very busy week but I've managed to throw together one of my favorite patterns for your enjoyment. Today's free pattern is a sewing pattern for a Reversible Shoulder Bag. It makes a great market bag. Shown above is a scaled down version of the dimensions given in the pattern. The photo below is of the large version.Download the pdf by clicking here. The first page of the pdf is instructions. The second page is a diagram for the pattern. I haven't had time to make a version that can be printed and tiled together at full size. So, there may be updates in the future.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I would love to help and I'd appreciate feedback to make the pattern better.

  2. Jessica, thanks for stopping by! Right now the instructions give dimensions so that you can draw the pattern yourself. When I get a little more time, I'll make one that can be printed on letter-size paper and then taped together to make a full size printed pattern.

  4. Hello Beth...I think your reversible shoulder bag is so cute! I just downloaded your pattern. Thanks for sharing. I really loved the fabric you used. Could you tell me where I might find something similar?

  5. Hi Wendy! Thanks for stopping by and commenting. The fabric I used for the bags pictured in this post was purchased at a small store in the fashion district of Los Angeles. I don't know what stores you have available to you and I've never bought fabric online. I have been admiring the prints at reprodepot.com.

    Happy sewing!

  6. I love your blog, and this pattern. I picked up the greatest fabric combination's for it yesterday and can't wait to get started. All of the photos in the flickr album look fantastic!

    One thing I am wondering though, would you mine just giving the dimensions in inches for the scaled down version you made? I really love that style purse, if it ends up being as easy as it seems I'll make one in every color :)

  7. Wow. I really like your instructions to this bag! I just finished making the pattern - and regarding that I have never done anything like it before it was REALLY EASY! Thanks so much for the tutorial! I am really curious what my bag will look like once it is done!

  8. I love the bag!! I would just like to know how big it is and how long the straps are because I am looking for a rather large bag. I guess I could always make the pattern bigger but I would just like to know the starting point! Thanks!

    P.S. I love this bag sooo much!
