Butterfly Sling Purse Sew Along





I have always been a big bag girl, the bigger the better but the Butterfly Sling Purse is a little bag with the heart of a BIG bag. 




This little lady can hold a deceptively large amount of stuff, which makes it ideal for those of us who carry a little bit of everything. The last time we went to our local amusement park, this bag was perfect; I could get all the stuff I needed inside, but easily wear her on the coasters and not feel like I was lugging around a suitcase. At 9" x 6" you will be glad to trade in your hold everything mom bag for this lady for the day. 

Right now Janelle is offering a 20% discount on both the pattern and the hardware kit to make this sweet little lady, and in honor of the sale I will be hosting a sew along. The sew a long will kick off on October 10th, so you have plenty of time to gather your supplies and be ready to sew with us!

Hi Patty!

I'll be posting on Social Media (Instagram, Twitter & Facebook) as well as in Facebook groups but you can get notifications if you follow me through your preferred social media. You can just click on the buttons on the left side and follow (this won't be visible on your mobile device unless you scroll all the way down and click "website view"...phones make everything harder lol). So glad you are joining along :)
