+++This is a measure and cut pattern which means that there are NO TEMPLATES to print off and match up- Yay! You need a rotary cutter, ruler and mat and you can cut the pattern pieces straight from the fabric. This is easier than it sounds because the pieces are all simple squares and rectangles.

When you buy this pattern, you have my permission to make this bag to sell- no mass production allowed of course but a few to sell at craft fairs or online, that sort of thing is fine. All I ask is that you credit me as the designer. I wish you all the success in the world with sales!

All measurements are in INCHES.

Oh my heart! Where do I start with this one! The goal was to create a bag that could be used for every day, it would hold all of the essentials and leave our hands free. The usual thing but this time, I was after a bit more. I wanted it to have a bit of an edge too. So away with the mama bag and in with something that could be paired with Doc Martens….
So the Verona Saddle bag was born! The result is a generous but not huge bag and it has a guitar strap! OMG I am so excited to show you how to make one of these! They are actually dead easy and the whole vibe lifts the bag to the Rock ‘n Roll stratosphere. There is some very easy shaping of the pattern pieces and there are step-by-step photos to make it child’s play. Don’t worry, you got this! This pattern contains 18 detailed pages of instruction and 18 clear photos PLUS blog links to give you even more information.

Pattern Rating: confident intermediate with some knowledge assumed. I am going to walk you step by step through the very easy procedure of shaping the panels. As those of you who follow my work (thank you!) will know, I avoid templates where I can for many reasons. My method of shaping the basic cut-out panels is super simple and a useful tip for a maker to have. It seems to be the way of the future.
