👜 Flap Handbag — PDF Sewing Pattern
Beginner friendly • 1–2 hours • Fully lined • A4 and US Letter
Two hours from cutting to carrying. That is the whole promise: this bag is a rectangle, a boxed base, a curved flap and one handle — no zip to insert, no hardware to source, no fitting, nothing that can go structurally wrong. It is fully lined, so there are no raw edges anywhere inside and no overlocker needed. It is the bag to make when you want to finish something today, and the one to make in five fabrics once you have made the first.

🧶 Fabric
Medium-weight fabric is recommended so the bag holds its shape: canvas, cotton duck, denim, corduroy or upholstery fabric.
Interfacing is strongly recommended — without it the boxed shape will not hold.
