The ’Cute’ Constance shoulder bag is the ultimate ready to go messenger! A versatile purse making pattern, simple to sew with a touch of couture to finish professionally. This shoulder bag can even be made into a ‘cute’ little clutch purse if you prefer.
The classic quilt style look to the front and back is easily achieved using a contrasting thread or a leather/cloth tape…and don’t worry as we will provide the template for you to match those quilt lines and finish in a colour of your choice.
Just imagine a vibrant red on red, or a rich contrasting navy on cobalt blue or even a black on white to match your Sunday best? She really is a catwalk show stopper!With a darted front to allow for that extra bit of room for your bits ‘n’ bobs and a shoulder strap that can be made to suit your desired length or a slip-through clutch handle subtly fixed to the back…what more could you wish for!
