Gena Shoulder Bag Pattern

by Bumbleroot Design

$12.50 USD

The Gena Shoulder Bag is many bags in one! Featuring a larger outer bag and a removable inner bag, you can make any combination to fit your style. Snaps secure the inner bag in place, forming a divider for the outer bag. When you just want to carry the inner bag, the snaps can be tucked to form a curvy shape.

Make it with one strap or two!

This bag goes together very differently from other bag patterns. The outer bag technique is neither a drop-in or birthed lining method!

Highlights:

Larger outer bag and a removable inner bag, for mixing & matching
Visible seaming and rivet detailing
Custom and completely unique 3D strap connectors, with available SVG files
Includes my "cocoon" method for tidy zipper ends without tabs
With the Add-on Guide, the inner bag has 3 different options for pockets
