The PDF contains a 12 page pattern to make your own book purse. The stitching on this project is almost made up of saddle stitching. If there's an area that you did not understand in the build along video, please contact me.

This listing is for the digital pattern only and does not contain the physical product.

The bag has a optional, removable small book compartment that is held on by a snap strap. Although the pictures show the use of magnets as closures, they are optional. The buckle strap works fine on it's own. The overall size of the bag is 10.25" in length, 3.75" in width (not including the small book) and 7.5" in height.

PDF is intended for letter/ 8.5" x 11" paper print to actual size (100%). Every stitch has a 1/8 seam allowance with the stitching holes provided. Most of the stitching holes are spaced 4mm apart. If you are unsure please watch build along video before purchasing. Instructions are also provided in the build along video.
