I’m so excited to be able to offer the Forest Glen Satchel, my first “real” pdf pattern, for sale! I’ve talked a bit about the Forest Glen Satchel in past posts (here, here). Little did I know it would take such a great deal of work to finish it for you. Thank you to everyone who helped throughout the process – you are all amazing!
PURCHASE the Forest Glen Satchel – $12.00
The Forest Glen Satchel is the perfect sized cross-body everyday tote bag. It’s simple to sew up, I created it with confident beginners in mind. There are no buttons, zippers or snaps – it closes with a strap so you can easily get to what’s inside! The front details and side chevron are my favorite parts of this bag, because they give it character. You can mix and match fabrics to create so many looks! I can hardly wait to post the tester bags (coming this weekend!) so you can see the amazing work my amazing pattern testers completed. SO much inspiration!
This Satchel began as a project interpretation of Elizabeth Olwen‘s second collection with Cloud9 Fabrics, “Wildwood”. I was fortunate to talk with Elizabeth about her fabric, and this Satchel is my creation based on our conversations. Her vision for the Wildwood collection, and artistic direction along the way, inspired the final design.
