The Shoreline Shoulder Bag is a medium sized bag with an adjustable cross-body strap. The top zip, front combined zip + slip pocket, and inside layered zip and slip pocket will keep you organized on your daily adventures. The photo tutorial style instructions walk you through every step of sewing the curves, pleats, and zippers so that you will have the confidence to complete this bag!

More experienced bag makers will enjoy the useful, everyday size and can increase the difficulty by adding extra pockets or going beyond cotton fabrics. The accent panel is a great way to feature your favorite fabrics and the flexible hardware requirements make this the perfect bag to sew with your stash!

Don't let the curvy zipper intimidate you - it's easy to do! The step-by-step photos make things very clear and easy to follow, and the pattern pieces have been engineered to fit together perfectly. 

Originally designed for the Bag of the Month Club, the Shoreline Shoulder Bag is now available for individual purchase!
