This listing is for a DOWNLOADABLE PDF pattern only! You are NOT purchasing a physical product!

The Beachcomber Tote & Handbag are beautiful, classy and spacious bags! They feature two exterior slip pockets, an interior slip pocket and a large zipper pocket. And everything is secure with a recessed zipper panel. I use a fabulous technique of creating the recessed zipper panels so they come out perfect every time!

This pattern is for the Intermediate Sewist. You'll need to know how to sew a gusset on a bag, determine interfacing requirements and be open to learning new techniques.

This pattern includes:

• ALL / FULL Sized Pattern pieces

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

• Labels for cut fabric

• Colorful and clear diagrams for most steps

• Small Notes section on each page

FINISHED DIMENSIONS:

HANDBAG: 13"W x 11"H x 3 1/2"D

TOTE: 16 1/2"W x 14 1/2"H x 4"D

RECOMMENDED FABRICS: I strongly recommend quilt weight cotton for the exterior and lining. Oilcloth and vinyl covered fabric can be used but I recommend sewing in quilting weight cotton the first time to get familiar with the pattern, specifically the gussets.
