Barbara e-Handbag Pattern is ready to download!

Barbara Handbag is a sleek, unique bag that doesn't forget its vintage roots.  It has a slight A-line shape that lends itself well to either stiff interfacing or slightly relaxed.  The "ooh" feature of this bag is the handles; coordinated cording adds texture and interest, while the sleek main panels beg for a carefully chosen fabric motif framed by the side and bottom panels. 

Construction features include 2 lined, sectioned interior pockets, smaller lining than exterior so the lining will not wrinkle, trimmed interfacings for less bulky seams, easy and effective bag bottom method, and magnetic snap closure.

The pattern calls for two fabrics:  one for the main exterior panels and interior pockets, and a second fabric for all the rest.  I chose a fabric motif that I wanted to highlight and then chose a second subdued fabric to frame it.  You can, however, choose one, two, or even fabrics to vary the look of this bag.

I made this bag with heavyweight canvas for the interfacing because I did not want any puff or for it to be completely stiff.  I also always have good luck with mesh plastic for the bag bottom.  This pattern incorporates an easy yet effective bag bottom method.

This pattern is rated easy, with the fun of it coming from the creativity in selecting a motif to highlight and cording to compliment!
