Emmaline Bags The Manhattan Bag Sewing Pattern

The Manhattan Bag pattern includes instructions for a gorgeous shoulder bag in 2 sizes (Mamma & Miss), as well as additional instructions for a”Removable Case” for eyeglasses, sunglasses, or other items.

The Manhattan is extremely fun to make and very unique, because the front flap actually zips open along it’s edge! Why? So you can put cool stuff in it!! Instructions for the aforementioned “Removable Case” have been included and this actually sticks into the flap with (optional) velcro and is….. wait for it….. removable!! This case is perfect for your glasses or sunglasses. 

The Manhattan Zippered Case, a free supplemental pattern, fits perfectly in the Mamma size front flap or on it’s own in the Miss. Instructions to add (optional) velcro so it stays in place in the bag flap are also included. Get this free pattern HERE.
