The Charley slouchy bucket bag is a large tote that is designed without a lining, utilizing french seams and binding to secure any raw edges and to give it extra strength where it counts. The Charley has two large side pockets that will easily hold a water bottle. Inside the bag is a zipper pocket. The single-layer design allows for additional design accents such as contrasting or coordinating thread and hardware.
The pattern is easy to follow and features full-color photos to coordinate with the step-by-step instructions. ***INCLUDED*** Full-size pattern pieces and a full video tutorial is included with the purchase of this pattern (the link to the video provided in the pattern).
This pattern is suitable for a domestic machine and is beginner-friendly.
You can sell bags made from this pattern, provided it’s on a small home-based scale. Please credit me as the pattern designer.
